Yeah, but I don’t even think one of these scopes was tested here.
Tract Toric 2.5-15 Eagleman

That’s a totally different scope.

I have bumped my 4-20 pretty good several times and even dropped it on purpose from about 18" on the top turret once(this forum has made me do dumb things to expensive equipment) and I have never had any shift in zero. Haven't had my 2.5-15 long enough to abuse it.
I'm just worried the scope would yell at me for walking on the grass or having my hands in my pockets...
That's why all of my Leupold's are gone now. Drop'em and pop'em.

Y'all are talking me into ditching my VX6 and grabbing one of these Tract scopes.

Dropping the vx6 is a good idea, I don’t know that I’d pick the Tract though. The rs1.2 is proven.
This scope is likely built of the same pedigree of the maven, the exit pupil, fov, internal elevation, length all the same. That big ass turret scares me taking drops tho. I like the reticle, might have to try one. I'm a sucker for good hunting scopes.

I've had a Tract Toric UHD for 10 years on several different rifles....7mag, 260, 6.5CM, and a 30-06. Never a bobble, great scope. Strangely enough, my VX6, which is older than that and made 5 trips to Namibia, and 3 to Sonora MX has never bobbled either. Imagine that.
So I picked up a 2.5-15 eagleman in mils.
The turrets are good, not great, capped windage turret feels a lil better than the locking elevation. There's a lot going on with the locking mechanism, so not surprised it's more muted feel.
The mag ring, parallax knob, illumination knobs, ooccular focus wheels all feel good, just enough resistance, but not too heavy.
Glass is nice and bright, good contrast and definition, accurate colors. (was a bright day while viewing).
Illumination on setting 10 and 11 appear to be daylight bright, no bleeding of the illumination module at max brightness.
Comparing to the maven RS 1.2: these are built on the same OEM model in Japan. They look near identical other than the color, turret design, other very minor differences in appearance. Specs on FOV, exit pupil, elevation, all same. The maven parallax is stiff as hell, even after working it for a bit. Maven elevation turret is a bit more tactile and audible(more defined clicks), windage turrets feel the same. Occular focus knob, mag ring, same again. Glass, they looked the same, couldn't tell em apart. I felt the tract had a bit more eye relief, that was the only discrepancy I found. These are siblings for sure.
Reticles.........I'm not a huge fan of the RS 1.2, it's usable, has enough data, works on low mag. I just prefer the 0.2 mil graduations on the eagleman, it does have 0.5 mil hashes on bottom side of windage stadia. Has a fine center dot, with 0.2 mil spacing on both sides. A guy could make very precise holdover with this reticle, no guessing. Windage hashes become usable at 6x power which isn't too bad, if I am hunting with this scope I'd keep it on 8X at all times and add more of needed. Reticle is very usable there.
I looked all over the web for a subtension chart, but found nothing. All in all, it's a good scope, tips the scales at 29.5oz, with battery and zero stop ring. So a touch heavier than the maven, but I expected that with all the locking elevation turret hardware.
If I could have it all.........install this eagleman reticle in the Triji 3-18 tenmile, at 24oz that'd be the only scope on my hunting rifles.
EDIT: once I get it on a rifle, I'll be dropping it!

Tract no question
The subtensions are listed on the Tract page. Vertical is .2 mil and 1 mil marks, the horizontal is .2, .5, 1 mil marks. They're actually marked in the reticle every 1 mil as well. Not sure why you were looking for a chart when the information is there.
Like a fine duplex, the subtensions are not usable at that mag.
I'm well aware of what it is. Do you really need to know how thick the lines are in order to use the scope as it's designed? Genuinely curious. I'm sure that if you contact one of the Jon's at Tract, they can provide the information. Eagleman could provide the information as well, since he's the designer of the reticle. Not saying that he necessarily would, just that he could.
Yeah I want to know thickness of stadia lines, size of dot, heights of hashes, stuff all helps for using a reticle to judge distance, thats the who purpose of a ffp mil reticle in my opinion.
I don't understand how nearly every optics company out there has these easily available, but not tract of maven. Maven didn't even have one to give when I contacted them, they didn't even know the size the dot in the center of the rs1.2 reticle.
But this just goes to show, optics companies are are more concerned with making money, not being fully versed in the technical aspects of their products.
