Would you buy this scope?

Eh it’s pretty much everything the mini mk5 was supposed to be

Looking forward to checking this one out.

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.

With my face I was able to put it all the way forward and add a 1" buttpad to the Rokstok. Add that to the list of the "do this, this and this" and it works great.

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.

Probably because I am an American haha

ZeroTech USA and ZeroTech Australia are sister companies. We have our own team here, while we work hand in hand with our Aussie brethren, we are our own entity and not just a distributor as some here have thought

@ZeroTech Optics out of curiosity, does your new elevation turret with the quick adjust yardage dials work on this scope? Not a huge factor, but might be interesting to try out if doesn’t add too much bulk.

It does not, it will only work with our Thrive and Thrive HD lines

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!

Form has given multiple comparisons so far and frankly he is the one trusted on the forum and likely has more time behind competitor's glass than we do. He also has all our samples at this point for the testing process so no one on our team has truly been able to look through them much outside of SHOT show which is a poor reflection. Can't give an honest objective answer without spending more time behind them this spring, which we will on some bear hunts, but so far everything we have seen here or heard directly from him is that if you DO find something that looks better it is highly subjective.

We're beating a dead horse, but this isn't a thousand dollar scope that someone cut corners to pack features into. This is a far more expensive optic that two brands came together on and shared manpower and resources to try and make something that doesn't exist.

Props to @ZeroTech Optics for joining this thread. Most manufacturers would have no business with honest, open, direct-to-consumer discussion.

Now, where can I sign up for 3 of these?

Turn off inbox notifications. They get to be outrageous.

Also, you can quote multiple responses at once (multi-quote) and cut down the number of posts you have to do.

Welcome to Rokslide. Thanks for the scope.

@ZeroTech Optics,
Just out of curiosity, did this thread help convince ZT that there was enough demand for something like this new scope?

 

[Dobermann]

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

Do you also drink coffee?

No ... I think @ZeroTech Optics's marketing guy drinks enough for the both of us ...
