Would you buy this scope?

[The Guide]

Oh I missed it by 20 pages.

Zero Tech Trace ain’t bad. 5 years from now a dude will be selling a ZT Trace in the optics classifieds with the disclaimer “this is one of the old models with the Shoot2Hunt logo on it, but it tracks and holds zero…”

In that same line of thought, there will be guys with WTB ads looking for an original ZT Trace ADV with the Shoot2Hunt logo cause those are the good ones that hold zero and track right...

I'll probably buy one, even be willing to put a full deposit down. I wasn't certain, so jumping back in was useful.

But, between the MOA junk and the branding arguments, and not being able to mock the stupid with food; this thread is more annoying than a 5 year old with Redbull and a drum set. This thread has me wanting to say a few things that would justly get me a timeout.

Honestly I think its good as is....

Nobody's asking for this.

I just don't want such a special scope, that I expect to spend several thousand dollars in acquiring examples of, to have the equivalent of purple hair and a nose ring begging for attention and approval.

Separate but related - look at all the major, quality optics brands. None of them have a giant logo on the bell. It's all tasteful symbols or font on the turrets or the ocular.

Go look.

Nightforce, Schmidt & Bender, Swarovski, Leupold, Leica, Vortex even - none of them have garish branding like that.

If someone doesn't think a giant logo on the bell will negatively impact perceived quality of that optic, they don't understand branding or people. It matters.

Marketing is not easy. And it's full of pitfalls. And it matters.

Tell us you're more worried about showing it to your friends without telling us you're worried about showing it to your friends.

but yet you read it thought about it and posted about it? Shame an internet forum that doesn't go your way irritates you so.

Shoot2Hunt is a great name for a podcast. It’s a terrible name for a line of optics. I buy a lot of stuff, so I should know (grin.)

Call your scope something else. Avoid using numbers for words, x’s instead of s’s, and other clever ideas. And don’t paint yourselves into a corner with the first one. If it’s good, you’ll end up selling a bunch more and you’ll need a good naming system.

Also, Don, that’s big?

Agree - it cheapens it. Even if they went with the S2H model it would be better

 

[mtnwrunner]

Can some of you QUIT IT. This thread has gotten ridiculous. Let Shoot2Hunt do their thing and get this to market. If you dont like it, dont buy it. And I'm fairly certain Unknown and S2H business model isn't like burger kings......

As far as the aesthetics discussion, there seem to be two basic schools of thought. “As plain as possible”, and “who cares, put a big pink dick on it for all I care”. It seems pretty simple, that’s only 4 sku’s. Each reticle option, with and without the dong. Everyone is as happy as a clam.

I'm still going to go with the THLR, but do we have any up close reticle pics of the RMG-H to share?

x2
I'd like to see RMG-H reticle in high resolution. I'm guessing its Zero Tech's RMG reticle without the tree.

I plan to buy one THLR reticle during the preorder for science, but I'm on the fence about buying two THLRs or one of each reticle.

The eye relief is a bit shorter than I normally prefer but that’s not holding me back. I’m in for two with the THLR reticle as soon as they are available.

When I first saw the eye relief, I was a bit concerned, too; however, that is really close to the advertised eye relief of the SWFA 3-9 and I don’t have any trouble with it.

I say lock the thread and post the new locked prototype testing thread w/ specs and drop / heavy use tests like previously mentioned. This shit is insufferable.

 

[Dobermann]

and there it is……like clockwork. F@&king Canadians and lefties eh? @Ryan Avery @Unknown Munitions

Hey! We're not asking for a left-handed version of the scope ...

Be careful suggesting a new thread…….

A new *locked* thread lol

 

[Formidilosus]

Zero checked all three scopes after multiple flights across the country, 1,000 plus miles in trucks with no padding, etc.

As long as they post the pre order link in that, it would be perfect. All of the info, none of the blather.

 

[tstowater]

Can you bounce them around in the back of a SxS for good measure.?

 

[WIDrake]

Maybe im not actually as sure of my sexuality as I think i am, but if it gets a big pink pecker engraved on it, I aint buying it. Yall can have that one.

I lost a bet and had to paint my NRL22 rifle Cock-o-flage... Look it up, it's as bad as it sounds. ****** looks pretty sweet though honestly

Edit: damn now I'm one of the idiots mudding the thread. Let me fix that

I too would really love to see a high quality image of the RMG reticle because I think that's the one I'd be looking to get, mine would pul double duty for hunting and matches so that might fit me better than the TLHR option
