Would you buy this scope?

What's this "we" hivemind perspective? I would love for it to have been Vortex or even better Leupold. Their no-questions-asked-smash-your-scope-and-we'll-send-you-a-new-one-and-a-hat warranty is amazing. Maven also has this type of warranty. Given that LOW is the manufacturer, the only benefit of the retailer will be warranty once it hits production.

Vortex scopes don't hold zero, but most of their other stuff is completely serviceable. Same with Leupold. Seems like at least Vortex is starting to notice the ruggedization demand.

And one would think it would be a relatively light lift for Vortex to update their LOW-made lines to the rugged version. Maybe we’ll see some of that if this scope does well. I hope S2H records all the abuse they put this thing through, assuming it continues to perform, and they and zero tech market the hell out of that performance. I don’t see major brands responding to market pressure otherwise.

Thanks for taking on this project and getting these scopes to reality. I know folks took the idea on this thread and ran with it, but some sort of pre order does make sense after listening to the latest podcast. And given the timeline, I wouldn't balk too much at paying full price for the scope when the LOW contract needs to be paid in order for them to leave Japan and waiting 12 to 15 days to have it in hand.

Yes 2 weeks advance payment is no problem. Hell, $100 deposit too.
I will sign up for the first batch whenever they ask for takers

Good on Shoot2hunt and good on zero tech for being the facilitator. I agree the world of scopes will be changing and we all will benefit from this design. Thanks guys for your time and commitment to relentless pursuit of performance and functionality. Bravo

Is this the same internals as the zero tech trace advanced? I stumbled upon your drop eval from a few years back and was expecting it to be a pass, but was surprised it didn’t read to be.

Based on how the S2H scope performed I assume it is different but want to confirm.

Thx.
