ZeroTech TRACE ADV 3-18×44 FFP Shoot2Hunt

[RockAndSage]

So, I shoot hunt in the thick woods of West Virginia, deer. Maybe 200 hundred yards.
Rifles are a 6mm arc and 7mm-08.
My chances of getting out "west" are very slim in the next few years, if ever.

As I don't know what I don't know.
What reticle would be best for my use case?

I'm going to buy one for sure when it happens, just want to get the right one.

And what are these "scope bumpers" I see mentioned?

Take this with a big grain of salt, given I don't do PRS or anything similar, but I really value being able to hit fast and accurately under pressure with handguns and long guns in real-world situations. And I'm at the point where I'm not sure there's a use-case out there where I'd want anything other than some form of the THLR reticle in a variable-power optic. It's that good.

And the more you learn the reticle, the more useful it becomes - but it's eminently useful and effective with zero knowledge about how it works.

Damn, cant believe I missed this.

I hunt in PA so very similar woods to you. I really like the 3-9 swfa for this; it’s lighter and the reticle works great. The 3-18 THLR would definitely work since it’s still 3x on the low end; but it’s a bit overkill and heavy (26 oz) for a woods rifle. Heck, the 3-9 swfa is still 20 oz. I wouldn’t hesitate to take the 3-9 out west if I was ever given the opportunity; it really is an impressive scope.

I’m holding out for the lower power scope Form was talking about for my 6.5 Grendel deer rifle. That could be the 3-9 killer for my use case, particularly if it’s lighter.

I’m still kicking around the 3-18 for my ELR rifle, but funds are tight right now…

Scope bumpers are a 3d printed scope cap that have a double hinge design to kinda ‘fold’ around the objective. Too rich for me, they look nicely designed though.

Yep, thanks, I did sign up for the next one.

looks interesting. Can someone explain the THLR to me? seems overly complicated vs the RMGH. But the RMGH is familiar from PRS style

The reticle:



This is what separates this scope from everything else. At first glance it strikes some people as busy and confusing. However, in use it is anything but. To start, what are the major problems with reticles in general and FFP reticles specifically?
There are two main issues- inability to see the reticle at low power, and poor design at high power.




Low power visibility:

This is the single most overlooked/screwed up item by companies when it comes to FFP reticles for hunting in dialing optics. For the vast majority of FFP MIL or MOA scopes the...
