Would you buy this scope?

No matter what my design intentions was, it is how it is utilized by the end-user that matters. I'll just add some trivia.

Good summary by @RockAndSage, the only error was 2).
It was explicitly a tacticool supersniper reticle.

It's built on the principle of "fundamental surprise" and aligning design with actual training.

For some cool guys, it is incredibly difficult to understand that things that has never happened before happens all the time. Hence a design that primes the correct decision. It is daft to believe that you will be able to go via a complex abstract when you are already knocked on your ass.

Before you say "not me", there is an overwhelming amount of data and deaths in aviation that says so. Are the average shooter/sniper really selected better than a fighter pilot? "OK, we got your test results aaaaand we think this rifle//airplane is a good fit for your abilities..." (not how it works, but...)

Central to this design was the square. Regardless of observation angle, either the target fits or it does not. Shoot, Aim Short or Long. Simple decisions to raze the first 600m. No need to remember a trajectory, find a number with a name and then interpret that value into a reticle or turret.

4)The increasing line thickness was similarily designed to align with magnification/FOV and the many variables of fleeting runners. Outside a stupid range, you're never going to assess the variables and you're reduced to "legal target?" and "staple through" from a reasonable bracket based on time of flight / target speed.

3) Other ranging features was not really something I believe in, but if the cadre insists on being inefficient, at least be less inefficient and place them "here" to give the least disturbance and fastest transition for the shooter.

Since I took the money for this project out of my own pocket, I also made some adjustments for my own hunting.

The S2H scope is a good scrub and good fit for hunting.

Edit:
... someone asked about lack of vertical above horisontal x dimesion. My opinion is that clear observation and ability to "see" peak of trajectory in the reticle has greater value. Almost every manufacturer fails here as they tend to put in at least 2 mrad which is too much as it doesn't simplify the killing.

This was really awesome - thank you for both clarifying, and for interacting with us here. It's very helpful, and appreciated.
 
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.

That reminds me of the LRHS zero stop.
 
That’s because it comes from LOW that made the LRHS and likely the same design or nearly the same.

No. It’s not. The ZS may have similarities- but the S2H is not made off the LRHS scope design.
I’m saying that because it has been theorized multiple times. That actually was the system we looked at first, but that design is not available and we were told that it was old, and not as good as newer designs, and not nearly what this final design is.
 
More free advice to @S2H guys: Don't do it for free. It doesn't do any of us cheapskates a bit of good if you lose your ass because of this and you're not around to provide support and further innovate. The consumer will forget about a couple extra bucks for a good product with excellent service. He will not forget about lack of replacements because they all got sold on clearance because there's a cash flow issue.

Again, thanks for doing this.
 
Yes Norwegian. I come from a long line of rape and pillage; We were the ISIS of 800 AD, and for some reason we seem to be proud of it...🤷
I’m not going to tell you what to be proud of, but your Johannes Klaebo has to be the greatest ever. I expect he will have no shortage of gold at Milan.

Sorry. You all can go back to scope talk now.
 
Zero checks and zeroing today.

223 again with S2H scope-


Shot more 88gr TMK’s to check POI-

6XC check with S2H scope-

For those two scope it’s been a couple hundred miles in the truck, and about 20 miles on the rough forest service road since being zeroed.


Zeroed 6UM with 4-16x ATACR after swapping stock. First two went pretty high, adjusted, 3 shots low left, final adjustment-3 shots.

Zeroed 6x45mm with S2H scope. Adjusted up .2, right .1, and slipped turret.

Check POI with 107gr TMK-

Then tried all of them at 805 yards. 2-4 MPH winds. All tried perfect using Sierra stated BC, except the 6UM was high .2 mils, and the 223 with 88gr was low .4 mils. The 223 was clearly reduced BC due to the low MV and 8” twist.
