Not in America.

It sucks this sold out quick. More coming next month though. i think its great to see the weight rokslide is starting to carry. I think this is going to open a lot of eyes from other manufactures. At least it should from the smart ones

@Ryan Avery - quite a few people didn't realize the RMG-H reticle was the default and ordered it on accident. Myself included.

What's the best recourse for correcting that?

I saw this scope in the flesh this past weekend at the hunt expo. It looks to be very nice! They will be taking deposits on 500 each for the next several months. So be patient guys.

For Canadians, is there a path forward yet to get a scope?
I didn’t place a preorder this morning because I read in the other thread you’re evaluating other options for distribution in Canada and they wouldn’t be from S2H directly. Is that still the case?

 

[JF_Idaho]

I would imagine LOW will make as many scopes as someone wants to order. S2H/Unknown still have to package and ship 500 units (possibly per month). On top of their other business that's a lot to keep up with logistically for what would seem to be a pretty minimal profit

What about in Canuckistan?

 

[JF_Idaho]

For clarification, when does this monthly release begin? And how does that relate to expected delivery?

It would begin when they get the scopes which is 6 months minimum (i.e. ordered today) which is probably unlikely. Then they get shipped, clear customs, arrive, have to get packaged and shipped to up to 500 people.

Get comfortable waiting.

What size scope bumpers does it take? @Ryan Avery

 

[KingOfTagSoup]

This thing looks awesome. Thlr reticle is very interesting. Just out of curiosity, has Zerotech expressed any intentions of improving the drop durability of the rest of their scopes? If I remember correctly Form had previously tested the Trace?

 

[Huntnpack 2]

No worries….. it’s been dropped !!!
Good to go !!

Agree.
If we are lucky annd orders go in today? 6months is August 16th. Factor in customs, QC, and individual shipping times? Another month seems like absolute best case scenario.
So figure October-November rifle season 2026 to have earliest scopes in hand if we are lotto ticket lucky.

Otherwise figure around Christmas 2026, and not be disappointed when they show up early?

For the sake of my own sanity, I am assuming I will be hunting with my trusty SWFA 6x, 3-9x, and 10x this rifle season. And that makes me happy.

 

[nm.otter]

If I'm lucky my trainer will show up around the same time as the scope.
6x -> trainer.

Maybe I’m just dumbly optimistic, but we are largely working with ZT on the timing, and this is all they do. I expect their figures to be on point. 6 months for the scopes to be ready. 10 days from shipment in Japan to UM. Then process and ship out to customers. With this being ZT’s game and their estimated timeline, I’m optimistic

I ordered two today to Canada. Jake has gotten the import docs on unknowns end and its simple to import as I've done with mavens. Hard to say if zerotech canada will end up with them cheaper vs importing from US and paying duties ect. At least they are not made in USA product as I usually get hit the hardest on those crossing the border. Figured I'd roll the dice to get a them sooner.

This scope is a want not a need for all of us. None of us are going to be doing without before they arrive. I look at them like suppressors. They'll get here when they get here but the sooner you order the sooner that should be.

FWIW S2H contacted me about my mistake order pretty quick. They refunded the accident order and made mention the number of scopes they chose was for customer service basically. Or that's the way I took it. He said that's the number they feel comfortable dealing with at a time. Not trying to create a shortage or frenzy but that's the number they wanted to deal with. I get it. 500 scopes going to 300 give or take different places is some leg work.

 

[JakeSCH]

Man bummed I miss this one. Figures it gets dropped on a day I took off from work to be with the kids.

I guess the good news is that an argument with my wife about another scope just got delayed a month.
