I have 4 currently. Originally started with a 1” 3-15x42 because it was supposed to dial and was 20 ounces. I couldn’t get another SHV and didn’t want that weight. Not many other options at that time.
I have that one on a 260 and I’ve killed a lot of animals and done a good amount of dialing. I don’t shoot several thousand rounds a year from that rifle but at around 100 shots a year, probably half dialed it tracks true (confirmed with a tall target test at measured 100 yards) and returns to zero and remains zero with reasonable use.
Based on that experience I bought two tekoas one in 2-10 that I have on a 30-06 and one in 4-16 that I have on a Grendel AR. Both are similar stories to the first.
I bought the fourth ( another 1” 3-15 Toric, used on Rokslide) early 23 or late 22 and mounted on a tikka 300 WSM in sportsmatch T048 rings/bases, torqued to 20 ish in-lbs and went to shooting a lot for a rifle that size. 290 rounds on it, dialed right on, returned to zero and tracked when zeroed for other ammo with a known zero offset that I had to dial distance for. Took it to Canada and it killed 2 moose and rode around in a John boat for a week, not super careful handling, checked zero again when home, hunted out the year dialing for 2 antelope and then shot a 10 shot group after season to confirm zero and get a true cone for that particular factory ammo.
No complaints on any of those 4 scopes.
