Scope Field Eval Explanation and Standards

[Formidilosus]

Form,

Will you do an longevity testing on scopes that fail
the drop tests or RTZ?

No. Because it’s pointless- they don’t work. All it shows is that they continually lose zero- like the Tangent.

Ok...that is what I was thinking. I just misread your post then.

A chart summarizing the scopes and test results would be nice.

Where are all of these drop reviews that were supposed to be pinned somewhere?

What do you mean? There’s multiple threads in this sub forum on scope evals.

Got you.

Does this same test apply for red dots?

Yes.


I would use aimpoints.

[QUOTE="Formidilosus,

In fact, only one scope out of hundreds has ever passed the whole thing and ever lost zero or failed in actual use.

Sorry if I missed it… I’m assuming it’s a SWFA or a Nightforce, but which model was it ?[/QUOTE]

Think I found the answer on one of the other threads

Why the heck would it be there? /sarcasm

@Formidilosus Any chance of getting a summary thread with the scope and a pass/fail for the different criteria you doing? I know I’m being lazy but it would be helpful to know which scope evaluations to focus on.

I appreciate the time and effort going into these, definitely made me change my mind on what scope I was buying this year.

We will have a summary page soon.

Good question. Where is Form?

Teaching Ukrainians to dial and hold? Could explain where all the SWFAs and Tikka .223s are too.

I’m convinced Beretta doesn’t think there’s a market for 223 Tikkas in the US. I can buy a classic LA hunting caliber T3X any day.
