Would you buy this scope?

This thread reminds me of an old saying by my dad. Folks would bitch if they were hung with a new rope.......

I could care less about the logo, it will be covered by scope caps/tape. As long as it works I'm happy.

I have an eyepiece question:

The specs indicate a locking eyepiece. Is it, once unlocked, still relatively coarse (ie fast focus) adjustment?)

Asking because stuff I've had in the past was either a) locking, with very fine adjustment, or b) no-lock fast-focus. Just curious if this is the former or the latter, or a combination of fast and locking? Not getting into what's better or why, just asking which it is.

^^Still curious. Not complaining either way, just curious.

It is a fast focus diopter, with a lock ring.

Thank you. Perfect!

Any further testing or evals going on? Also any update on the plans for preorders?

They were being shot consistently until a couple days ago. Two were pulled off for Ryan and Jake to take to the expo. The other is still being shot. Working perfectly.

This place is infested with nervous Nellies. Go outside and shoot something.

I would but I’m waiting on a scope & suppressor.

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.

@Ryan Avery @Formidilosus @Unknown Munitions

Can we please do this?

There's 4000 posts of mostly useless BS in here. It would be a lot more palatable to direct others to concise information.

Since I think Ryan and Form are the only ones that have touched the scope, you could do a search of this thread of posts by them. Could even do ZeroTech as well. I imagine they want to keep this thread fairly big for google search traction maybe.

 

[PopNFresh]

+1 on running a search on this thread with only the parties actually involved, I came in pretty late and it made the thread fairly concise and helpful

 

[LongWayAround]

I agree on the search feature. It would just be easier to direct non-rokslide regulars to something that doesn't require filtering.

 

[nm.otter]

It should eventually have its own entry in the Rifle Scope Field Evaluations subforum.

Complaining about the clutter and unnecessary posts is just adding more of the posts you are complaining about....

I your opinion how is the view of the reticle in low light situations? Is it usable without the illumination or is it required for those shots right near first and last light?

It’s the most usable reticle without illumination that I have seen.

OK so this is probably an odd question due to my lack of knowledge on scopes...( I had been hunting mostly lever action with iron sights till my eyes decided a scope would help) Having little experience outside of a simple duplex...as I wait for to pre-order for next year would there be a specific reticle or type of reticle to start learning on during the wait? I plan to have my rifle fully built in time for an April intro to long range class I am taking.
