On my phone so do not expect an in depth review.
After stumbling on a video of a torture test claiming a scope passed the Rokslide drop eval I had to see for myself. I found a good deal on this scope and figured at worst it is similar to the Arkens in price point and features and I would use it on a 22 if it doesn’t pass the test.
Rifle is a Bergara b14 that I’ve used for other test. I have since had the rifle professionally bedded in a an AG composite I had from another build. The cutouts don’t match, but this is a back-up rifle so I am only concerned with functionality. Rail is epoxied to action. Rings are Burris tactical. Everything is acetoned and vibrateted, then torqued to 65 action 65 ring base and 25 scope caps using a fixit wrench.
New test ammo is ACC 140 blacktip. This rifle doesn’t not like it. My 10 shot groups was terrible. Ive shot numerous 10 rounds with Winchester 125 that are half this size. 10 round control is 2.42” group.
Media is the same mats used in previous test. Less grass this year due to no rain. Range is private 107 yards to target. 10+ mph wind coming in at 11:00 from the target. 85 degrees but pleasant.
Started using larger targets as they are just easier to see. Drops are marked. I did a confirming shot shown as C on the target, then drops of:1 Right 2 Top 3 Left all at 18”s.
Followed by drops of 4 Right 5 top 6 Left all at 36”. Then a final 3 on each side from 36” for a total of 15 drops.
The Sightmark appeared to stay in the cone with a 1.65” 8 shot group. My group actually improved. Maybe I should drop my rifle every time before I shoot an animal
I’ll send this to @Form for official testing as soon as the others I have with him are returned.
Not a bad option for the price if it passes the official test.
