Would you buy this scope?

[Formidilosus]

It is a compact thing…




That rifle is the size of a Red Ryder BB gun.

I zeroed it on 18x two minutes before legal light (30min after sunset).


Two minutes after legal light- 32 minutes past legal sunset.

3x. The pine trees are approx 150-175 yards.



3x at 30-50 yards.



3x with illumination (about 2/3rd max)

Wouldn’t they probably do a 2-12 since the 6x erector is already built?

There’s already been significant discussion of a 2-8x36. Substantially different than the current offering. I don’t see how they couldn’t get this under 20oz, maybe significantly under 20oz. And many of us shoot to 600+ with 8x magnification. It’s the “everything you need, nothing you don’t” scope.

How is the glass/eybox/viewing experience compared to 4-16 atacr?

Haha. I would be told I was biased if I said what I actually see with them. I will compare them with a 4-16x ATACR when I can.

I will say all three are better than any Trijicon Tenmile, Credo, or Maven RS1.2 that I have seen. There is no tunneling at all. Eyebox is better than all four of those.

I do not want to overstate it, but it is really good.

Man that reticle is excellent.

Again, I very rarely shoot in wind. But what you're showing in those photos....aw yeah. Nice.

I’ll admit to being pretty skeptical from the start but I believe you guys have created a very good scope.

 

[Gstew1930]

I dunno how yall managed to pull this off for a $1k scope. FN awesome. I hope they order a couple of shipping containers worth becuase they are going to sell out fast. S2H alumn are first to order right?

 

[Kyguy]

Didn't mean to upset you - some can confuse that with a zero stop. Clearly Form understands the difference.

You didn't... I was genuinely curious.

This is great to hear. Some think rs1.2 glass is great but my 20/10 vision does not agree.

 

[Speaks]

This is looking pretty cool, Il for sure be in for one.

 

[rafiki]

look to be trending in the right direction. even if these were the only three ever made, i’d be very pleased if i were you guys. amazing to see the process and appreciate you letting us follow along.

 

[KingOfTagSoup]

Hoboy. I was about to pull the trigger on a trijicon credo hx but.... depending on when this rolls out I may go for this instead. Looks like an awesome product fellas.

Hot take this scope vs the THLR ZP5

 

[Fabel.52]

I am 100% buying one for my hunting rifle.

I may even replace the Steiners on our team rifles with them. This seems to check every box, I want ffp but need that low magnification, low light capability and durability.

 

[Formidilosus]

Turrets:

Elevation is 10 miles per rev, revolution indicated, with a zero stop. The zero stop is ginormous. I don’t think I’ve seen one quite like it.


It has three screws around the edges that you loosen to drop. It is a pin on pin design- similar to others, but not quite the same- much larger in diameter, and the turrets spindle is thicker/bigger.




Windage is 10 mils per rev, marked left and right.




Again, the turrets spindle is a thick boy under there.

Haha. Straight up, it’s like a Japanese baby ZP5 in use.

That’s already being discussed with a group for those exact reasons.

Looks pretty similar to the version in the LRTS, is it larger than that?

Assume my ZP5 worked correctly and I am shooting past 300 constantly. Which one is on your gun?

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen one. This scope is not built on the LRHS/LRTS system though.

The ZP5 THLR is the best dedicated LR scope I have seen.
