Would you buy this scope?

[streamerfish]

Glad that’s cleared up.

I’m definitely way wimpier than you; I wouldn’t even be willing to go toe to toe with any child on this earth.

Can we get back to the scopes instead of schoolyard taunts? My interest is piqued on the 2-8x36.

For my non-combative hunting purposes this would be pretty sweet; any idea on what it’d weigh? It’d have to be a bit lighter than the 3-9 swfa for me to see a benefit.

I don't think a 2 by something by 36mm is anymore then a pipedream/best case scenario down the road situation right now.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but my assumption is that the first model needs to get finalized/through testing, get to market, and have some level of success before another model would even be considered..... One thing at a time.

Seems some are. Like athlon, vortex, maven, bushnell, and countless others.

Are there any that are not made in China?

 

[SDHNTR]

I just think it’s a crock of shit they hype all these products up,
Almost everyone on Rok suckles on there nuts like there Jesus on earth.

And nothing is ever on time or as described.
Every product is months late then has issues.

And then they don’t care what the masses want either.

So WTH is the point of engaging the masses if you don’t care about the input?

Shhhh, you’ll be accused of trolling!

Everyone made by Light Optical Japan including Night force.

I don’t think anyone here “adores” him. I do appreciate his experience and sharing of knowledge.

It was already stated to you. They needed proof that a bunch of people would be interested in such a scope, not just Form and Ryan

No, several people do, in fact, adore him. Me included I think, as I haven’t gotten bad info from him, other than Fjallraven gaiters.

I have an Arken that was advertised to have Japanese glass.
Wasn’t made in Japan.

ETA.
Seriously doubt this scope is from China.

Shhhh, you’ll be accused of trolling!

And once again, a totally worthless post.
Lets please keep this thread related to THIS OPTIC.

 

[HighUintas]

At risk of a continuous derailing of this thread, I would think that it would be obvious to all that UM, AvEry, Form, etc don't hype all of the projects they've worked on. They post threads, asking who would buy stuff, sometimes for feedback, giving out information on the product testing etc.

the forum members here are the ones hyping the hell out of everything they do. UM posts something about a new product and in 3 days the thread has 1000 posts. I believe that is because all the products, information,and techniques they've put out here are worthwhile.

Everything I've done in the last 3 years or so has been a huge improvement. Everything I did and advice I listened to over on that awfully retarded LRH forum when I first starting shooting, essentially wasted my time and money.

 

[Kyguy]

Man, with the way everyone is whining about wanting to know who makes the scope.... I hope it's Monstrum or Osprey Global.... then we'll see who actually puts their money where their mouth is.

Read that comment you replied to its in there. We believe in you.

That was a very cleverly worded comment

I’m clearly not on the inside of whatever circle these references are intended for. I did google New Zealand and Australia rifle scopes after the comment I replied to. I had a guess from that but not much more, which is why I asked for more bread crumbs. I guess I’m too out of the loop to see whatever you’re trying to tell me.

The words zero and tech are in the comment and someone else posted a picture of a Zerotech dial with the same font as Rokscope preview pics.

 

[Okie_Poke]

I had seen the other zero tech comments and that was my google fu guess earlier and I still didn’t pick up on it! I am dense!

Im late to the party. Where do I find the rationale for the reticle design? Cant say I want to scrub this whole thread, though the drama was entertaining..

Thread 'Minox ZP5 5-25x56mm THLR Field Evaluation'

Feb 16, 2022

This is a field evaluation of the Minox ZP5 5-25x56mm with THLR reticle scope. This scope was purchased for an evaluation, to determine the merits of the THLR reticle in October of 2021. Being that the purpose was to determine the suitability and function of the reticle, the risk of the scope breaking from the drop eval was to great then. However because I had enough time to get it fixed or acquire another before needing it again if it did break, and because it needed to be done, I conducted the eval today. It is different than the standard evals as the scope was shot and used pretty...

That's a chain in the fire world.

Got back just before dark. Rushed it and mounted one up and commenced to shooting.

Groups initially were odd and larger than the guns norm. Stringing, or seeming to jump poi. Finally unmounted, and remounted scope. Groups were a bit smaller, but still not quite right.

But, with almost no light left I went ahead and attempted the drop Eval. Top left is 8 shots. Adjusted up .1 mil, and left .1. Drop eval is center dot. This one was conducted on solid frozen ground, and a single 1/2” mat (not two pads). The 9x36” drops shifted off the dot (#7). Went to the bottom center and fired three- all centered. Hmmmm. Went to the pads and drops 4 times or so from shoulder to head height, then 2-3 times from shoulder height on the frozen ground (bottom left). The third shot went more left, and I noticed the buttstock wiggling.




The screw that holds the buttstock onto the main chassis had gotten loose.

So, inconclusive.

Got back to the house, tightened that up and will eval all three properly tomorrow.

We don’t have the scopes yet. I can’t give any information like that without seeing them.

You mentioned eye relief is good as well as eye box. Excited to hear more and comparisons when you get it mounted to a rifle. Eye relief spec should simply be a calculation by the manufacturer.

If there’s been any talk of the realm of coatings and glare reduction, I’ve missed it.

Also will be interested to see dimensions, like mounting length and optical bell length, for those of us that still like using old rifles with long actions without pic rails. (I know…)
