Would you buy this scope?

This is going to be a thing for some for sure. People expect some magical things from scopes, and delude themselves into seeing what they want to see- reference March scopes, and in my experience ZCO. The half dozen Marches I have used have all been- not just underwhelming form the magical side, but just objectively underwhelming as a base aiming device. The ZCO’s I have seen are fine and good to look through, but aren’t anything noteworthy in regards to the other “alpha” scopes- yet people fall all over themselves acting like they are magic.

This scope, if it does what the goals were outlined; will be utterly “normal”. That was the goal- a scope that you mount, zero, and never think about again. A complete none issue. The best compliment will be if people say- “yeah, it’s exactly what a scope should be”.
If its a true do it all scope, from a 30yd shot in dark timber on 3x, to a NLR Hunter event, for less then 1/3rd the price of a ZP5. Than its hard to not be impressed to me.

I'm probably going to get a SWFA 3-15 for now, but I don't like the Vertical line above the aim point.
 
I'm in need of a couple scopes shortly as the 223 and 243 (no 6 Creedmoor in the Tikka lineup) are in route. One of these would definitely be an option for at least the 243. I want to play with a Mildot sooner than later. Probably just going to get a couple SWFA 3-15's unless I get a wild hair for something different.
 
Funny but true. The formula: Have high expectations + Get item that meets expectations = "Sufficient"

It's hard to be blown away by something that matches your expectations, especially when people have a tendency to have imaginations far outstripping possible realities, and get disappointed that magic didn't happen.

That said, I suspect this scope is the kind of thing that will shine comparatively against others in real-world field use, especially against others in its same weight/mag class. But it might be the kind of thing where you have to have refined and informed expectations about durability, reliability, and low-light usability to fully appreciate. I can't wait to get my hands on a couple.
Sad but true. However, I don’t there’s another scope on the market that will provide reliability, relatively lightweight, this magnification range, a decent reticle, FFP, mil/mil and under $1000. It’s a bit of a unicorn really. Sorry for the magical term. Maybe a unicorn tool, like a perfectly balanced hammer.

This is a great mindset to contemplate in the scope industry.


As for me ... I think I'm going to quietly giggle to myself with glee every time I pick up a dedicated hunting scope with an modified THLR reticle. Thanks for making this happen!
Samsies. I am beyond excited about this scope and "aim" to order 2 of them. Hope they're not going to be a limited run.

Dude for sure. Put me down for ✌🏻
 
As far as branding, realize nobody had seen it until yesterday. No one is stuck on anything- if you think the “Shoot2Hunt is too big, or the wrong place, etc.- just say so. I can understand that the branding thing is important- not for a “look at this scooe” thing; but mainly as a “getting people to understand what S2H is, so they will be willing to listen” when new projects come up.

I would prefer no branding whatsoever, however I kind of like the “S2H” example that was posted earlier- it’s almost exactly what I drew up.
Kind of an eyesore on the Teratorn as well 🫢
 
@Ryan Avery @Formidilosus @Unknown Munitions

You guys should up the game on the included instructions. “How to properly mount a scope”, recommended rings and torque values, how to use the reticle, how to use mils, how to zero a rifle, go forth and wreck sh*t. Or be lazy and just link the threads/drive traffic to RS

I’d offer to write it, but I’d be plagerizing and my grammar is terrible.
