Would you buy this scope?

[Lionheart]

This project has been a big behind the scenes secret as everyone here knows and we weren't "publicly" revealed until after SHOT. Follow up to SHOT comes with loads of other responsibilities. A full product schedule for this year, small team, and loads of follow up from SHOT means I (ZT's marketing guy) have only just been able to hop on here and start tackling some answers. Don't worry you will be seeing plenty of my ugly mug in launch content

Welcome aboard…looking forward to more info.

You just said that you were in his living room?

His virtual living room. We are ALL sitting in it right now.

We're excited! But just to clear the air, there is no official road map or anything at the moment. We have all thrown some ideas around and we have seen the numerous mentions on here for the 2-8s and SFWA clones but once again, there is no official road map for ANY additional products at this point.

We all think it is highly likely we work together on several projects in the future but for now we are focused on what's in front of us and delivering on the promises made. Anything more at this time and we risk getting distracted and missing the mark

Welcome to the forum! Pretty cool to see a company this involved in production as well as its customer base. Not that I haven’t seen other companies comment on threads before but usually it’s on an already in production scopes and some minor stuff. Really encouraging to see and definitely sets a good tone going forward. Looking forward to seeing how development goes and wishing you guys a smooth and easy rollout for the initial release.

A lot of companies talk about "the people" being the difference but we actually try to live that. We like to say this industry is made up of people not products. I am a totally normal dude who works in marketing who is super excited for this project because I believe in the mission and the difference it can make. That is how virtually everyone at ZT is. We are just normal guys and gals who love to hunt and shoot and if we can help improve that space instead of just sell to that space, you can bet your ass that's what we're gonna do.

Where can I apply? Sounds like a fun co to work for.

We'll order the dumptrucks now. This is is the fastest way to deliver AND we know they can handle being dumped out of the bucket

Hopefully at least ONE dump truck makes it into Canada with the first batch….

We are glad you all are so excited for this product and just want to clarify that this product WILL be available worldwide. ZeroTech USA is working hand in hand with Shoot2Hunt and our Australian sister company as well as our global distributors. Expect to be able to buy the worlds best hunting scope in nearly every corner of the globe.

So I know this might not be an answerable question and that's totally fine. But...

In the podcast they said the optical quality being LOW's best will be comparable to scopes in the 1800-2k range, but can you give an example of any particular scopes you think this compares to optically?

I'm gonna buy one (reticle still undecided as the THLR is still confusing to me. Ebr 7c works with my brain so far) but if I have things I can compare to in the mean time, I might budget for 2!

There were some pretty interesting Easter Eggs in that episode as well, for those who listen carefully ...

What episode number was this discussed on?

Expecting them to get to other markets in the first run? Aus is awfully close to us in NZ but Id love to end up with a couple being we get raked over the coals for the Mavens and all my other suitable options run pretty spendy.

Your decent price optic reminds me of Tikkas. Does everything required well for a fair price therefore owns the market. Down here in NZ Id hate ro know what percent of the market they own.

We get it- you got your 10 posts in record time. Now you can get into the classifieds and send PMs.

I'm interested to see a size comparison pic of this scope alongside an RS1.2, it looks like its a decent bit more compact

Thinking I'll keep the Maven on my Ruger M77 and put this new ZeroTech on my Howa Mini 223

 

[pathnz]

The Maven is ludicrously large imo. Pretty much anything is smaller (except a Tenmile, for which the product name also aptly describes the product length)

That and the eye relief on the Mavens massive exaggerating how poorly it fits mini/short actions. Shit most people have them miles forward on Tikkas even. I do like my few plenty enough but i found on the VGs short LOP meant the Maven wouldn't work well on the Mini. The current one uses a Pic Rail so that helped get the rings forward.

Roksliders, Shoot2Hunters, Romans, countrymen, my fellow Americans (you get the gist), we at ZeroTech want to thank you all for your overwhelming response to this project! We know S2H has been trying to make this happen for a long time and we are honored to take part in this project and bring to market something that people are clearly so incredibly passionate about! We have lots of big plans for this and other things in the future and will do everything in our power to educate and assist in bringing this scope, the test, and future projects to light.

We are all committed to doing this the right way and as Form has mentioned multiple times, not cutting corners. We're gonna do our best to keep up with answers on here but you guys have a lot to say so you'll have to apologize us if we don't get to all of them in a timely manner. In the meantime stay tuned here, on S2H's media channels, and ZeroTech's media channels. Timelines may vary but the important thing is the scope you have all been waiting for is VERY REAL and is HAPPENING. Everything else is just fluff!

Welcome to the party! However, your gonna have to work on your Aussy accent…I’m not getting much of it from your posts…LMBO

Thanks for jumping in and tackling the problem.

 

[mtnwrunner]

ZT.....Welcome to Rokslide. Glad you are here and we are all really really looking forward to this scope and to what the future holds. BIG thank you to your willingness to take on this risk and opportunity.
And good luck with the rokslide crowd on this thread......they can be tough.

For reference this scope compares to the Leupold MK5 3.6-18x44 in weight & length.

And that’s where any comparison ends lol.
