Would you buy this scope?

Scope #3.

Same gun, ammo, rings.


Bore sighted. Two shots- high, read reticle and adjusted. Next 8 shots on the left dot.



Drop Portion:
Same gun, ammo, rings. Same terrain and mat placement- hard packed, frozen ground.

Shot on the same dot from above on the initial zero. 15x drops from 36”. No point of impact shift whatsoever.

RTZ:

Apparently rifles get more accurate when you drop them.



TBC…

@Formidilosus Perhaps I have reading comprehension issues, but I only see scope #2 and 3 results posted…did you evaluate all 3 with the BAT?

Not yet. #1 is still on the Tikka. I will redo it.

Has a weight on the scope been posted?? I haven’t seen it if so.

25oz on the dot according to my scale.

They’ll be multiple there.

Usually when new scopes are presented there is excitement, but there is also some element of compromise. I’m not seeing any compromise here so far.

Fine. Take my money.

I think the compromise was the power range and weight from the original desired specs. Not a huge deal breaker in its current form by any means

I see this emoji is missing from the post “like” so I will just include it here.

Especially not if we end up getting a 2-8 or 2.5-10. Which might be easier to argue for since it would have less crossover with the 3-18.

Damn impressive for the number of drops I'd say.

If all three make it to 3000 rds without issue, is that the "head to production" benchmark?

 

[tstowater]

Looking like they are doing what they were designed to do. Hard not to like.

On a side note, how do the zero stop work?

Not 100% decided yet. They are going to get a lot of use very quickly, and we’ll know if there’s an issue. With what is inside these things, I highly doubt that there will be. They are not $1,000 scopes inside. They have what according to LOW is the most durable erector system and components they can make in a scope like this.

@Formidilosus If you had a theoretical scope with 9/10 optical clarity and a 1-100x zoom range, exactly the same clarity / distortion at every power from 1-100x, what power would you set the scope at to shoot groups at 100 yards?

(fully understanding that this is a dumb question, and it really doesn't matter)
