ZeroTech TRACE ADV 3-18×44 FFP Shoot2Hunt

[tstowater]

Read the first page and abandoned. Wasn't going to learn anything useful.

100% truth.

And yet, I'm still going to say this: That thread legit made me grateful for our moderators and the rules & norms here.

I've seen more wisdom and value in cesspool roadside ditches of 3rd world $h*tholes after goat butchering and blowfly infestations, than I did in that damned SH thread. It was an abomination of behavior, and a pristine example of why most gun forums are just degenerate wastes of time.

ya it has went down hill. I joined in 08 and back the it was a wealth of knowledge with people who were straight and to the point. It started to get big and every dink found it and went down hill . Still some old timers around that have good info but have to wade through the garbage

Despite the antics in RS threads that increase the page count to hundreds.... This is the best hunting/shooting forum I've found. All the methods and gear I've tried since joining and spending too much money have worked very well for me.

I abandoned my maven scope to purchase the S2H scope without hesitation. I have no worries that it won't at least equal the rs1.2. My use of that particular rifle and scope (rs1.2) for my hunts this year may not happen anyway. So if I don't have the S2H scope in hand by then, it probably doesn't matter.

Call me a faithful follower if you like, but I still test the items and methods I get from this forum and abandon it if I don't like it or it doesn't work for me.

We prefer being called a cult, over faithful follower.

If a group has and shares the collective knowledge required to hone in on the top 25-50 things that just flat work, all a guy needs is a reasonable IQ to be able to skip some of the painful experiences and disappointments and go to the good stuff.

It may appear cult like if everyone agrees on stuff. However, if there's certain scopes or rifles or bags that objectively work best, why wouldn't everyone agree?

We don't all need to be able to perform textbook drop tests to understand them, make purchases that align with them, and add our own testimony to the collective.

All people really need is to separate their ego from their gear choices, divorce their brand loyalty, and look at things objectively with the goal of ending up at the most reliable, functional gear available.

This is 100% why I am a member here. There is a good amount of quality knowledge and testing that goes on in hunting scenarios that mimic my own and it gives me a good place to start with gear if needed.

BTW I'm pretty pissed that I missed the preorder for this scope, I had been anticipating it but got no notification. Oh well, I'll be first in line to buy one that someone doesn't like (not marked up) or the next release.

 

[gbflyer]

Yep. Much easier to filter out the nonsense here. Good group, good mods, good site.

What the Hell were they talking about...no zero stop? It's right there on the brochure.

I think some of them were talking about a lack of a locking elevation turret, not a zero stop.

Ok I must have missed that between all the MF'ers and CS'ers, etc.

It's entirely possible I missed the zero stop talk. That was a shit show of a thread over there. A few guys from here, just made it worse in my opinion.

Bunch of nerds arguing over a scope that hasn't even been released. It's amazing to me the attachment some guys get to things.

That's the truth. I haven't been on here very long but dang the amount of drama surrounding this thing is unbelievable. Makes my hormonal teenage girls seem rational

 

[omicron1792]

One of the guys over there made a list of things he didn’t like on the scope. 2 of the five had nothing to do with the scope (bad website, etc). His 3 he had left were minor and would be a no brainer for a 999 scope made by LOW.

Moral of the story. His negativity actually showed how good of a deal this scope will be.

Freddy G, is he a member here?

That guy needs IV Xanax.

@Ryan Avery, @Formidilosus, could one of you give us the measurement between the red lines below? Thanks!

I don’t think there’s enough room there to fit on a long action.

I come up with 5.68” with an enlarged photo of the scope, a piece of paper, a yardstick, and the calculator on my phone. I might need a full rail if I go with an undependable 700 clone.

Rails just add another failure point to the system.

Maybe consider a nice 308.

Thank!

Now, I need to figure out if it was the piece of paper, the yardstick, or the calculator on my phone that was off.
