ZeroTech TRACE ADV 3-18×44 FFP Shoot2Hunt

There is not a separate thread for it, but the initial eval has been done on all three- it’s in this thread. The scopes have been used heavily and all three are well over 3,000 rounds on each. Two of the three have been through 2x S2H classes used by students, the other went through one class. Function has been perfect.

Seems like it would be well worth breaking that review out into a separate thread. Both to show it was equivalently tested and to track reliability over time.

Sure. But I generally don’t post an eval in that sub forum on scopes that aren’t available yet, etc. I have multiple scopes that aren’t “in production” yet that I haven’t posted an eval on. Having said that, these are production scopes, so I probably should.

My dumb opinion: it would be better to do a proper evaluation with a random scope pulled from the first 1 or 2 production runs.

That would definitely cut out at least one angle for people to complain or call conspiracy about.

Not dumb at all and would give the SH boys one less thing they could point to when attempting to invalidate the results

By that point, there’s going to be 500 of these in the wild and presumably mounted on rifles being used for hunting. But sure, no harm in that.

I’m really looking forward to the first Chicken Little post about one of these “failing” or not being great for hunting with a story of a lost mammoth of a lifetime. That thread is going to go for about a hundred pages with the “actually, it was mounted backwards with scotch tape” post around page 53.

Edit - also, by July, there will have been more S2H courses that have tried it out.

For me, there is a proven track record of the scopes already in the eval, so there's that. And I already ordered two of the S2H scopes. Oh and lastly I don't give AF what anybody says on SH.
