ZeroTech TRACE ADV 3-18×44 FFP Shoot2Hunt

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.

5.6”

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.

I would only go with an integral rail. The Bat Vampire might be an option because it has an extended split rail. Or, maybe, the CDG Light action. No, scratch that thought, I couldn’t stand the look of that.

5.6”

By my measurements, that appears to be only about 0.15 less than on the SWFAs. I could see that being a bit tight on some rifles (e.g., a traditional Mauser or the Sauer 100 with two-piece bases). But it will be lovely on a Tikka!

My SWFA 3-9 is just a hair over 5.9”. I pulled my long action 700 out of the safe and it is 5.4” from outside to outside of the Hawkins LR Hybrid rings. So, it would fit but there wouldn’t be much room to play with eye relief. I think @Ryan Avery had responded earlier that it could be tight on a long action.

It would be a non-issue on the Tikka.

I was measuring from the parallax dot to the bell. And I have four scopes in rings sitting here since I had to mail out some rifles today, so I also took a quick measurement of the outer edges of those rings just to get an idea.

I got one-piece rails for the Sauer 100s to replace the two-piece ones I had. Ironically, they were delivered right after I shipped the 6.5 off for customer service and the 9.3 off to Feldkamp for cutting and threading.

This new scope is going on my Tikka .243.

BTW - while I had the 700 and the Tikka out for measurements, I just had to cycle the actions. There is no comparison in smoothness. I might have to go with a cartridge that will fit in a Tikka.

So, I probably missed it.
The scope does not have locking turrets.

Wish this thing was here already, I see a lot of lesser quality for the same or more money.
