ZeroTech TRACE ADV 3-18×44 FFP Shoot2Hunt

[Speaks]

Missed the first drop but glad I threw this one on my calendar. Very excited for these.

Have to reward innovation somehow, but the profit margin on those things must be huge.

When considering this, keep in mind the R&D costs, along with tooling, shop space, and labor. Heaven knows though, they're not putting money into premium packaging...

Managed to get one! Hope to see some videos of drop tests and such in the near future! Glad to be able to glean from this forum. Has changed my perspectives on gear for the positive!

It’s infuriating to me how expensive they are. Have to reward innovation somehow, but the profit margin on those things must be huge. I have to think they would sell 5x more of them at $60 or $80 per set.

I’m not disagreeing that they’re expensive, but they seem to be working/lasting way longer than their competitors.

Also, being a business owner myself, I look at costs of goods & services much differently than I used to. A lot more things seem reasonably priced now that I look at it differently.

looks like Zero Tech is running preorders as well on the Canadian side.

Their write up on that page is pretty good.

Form did say a band popped off one in the field. He now keeps extra bands on him. That is a fail point imo.

Whats the deal with the scope caps and the guys who did the first order.
Can they add just them to your order with the discounted price?

 

[Luvbowhuntn]

You can order them at the discounted rate on the shoot2hunt website. They made them available shortly after the preorder this morning. I grabbed a couple sets for my 2 scopes from the first preorder and it gave the discounted price

Yeah, I know. It’s infuriating to me how expensive they are. Have to reward innovation somehow, but the profit margin on those things must be huge. I have to think they would sell 5x more of them at $60 or $80 per set.

I've also had Tenebraex and Aadmount scope caps fail ... so if Scope Bumpers last longer, that's a plus.

 

[Dobermann]

Tried to order one with each reticle, but got an error saying it's only available for US orders. Bummer.

Hmmm ... worked for me, and the country drop-down listed dozens of countries around the world.

I squeaked one in with only 16 left, even though I'm standing on my head over here ...

 

[Scottyboy]

Sold out again, assuming the majority are THLR reticle…please get Thomas on podcast!! @THLR @Formidilosus @Ryan Avery @Unknown Munitions

I could select Canada to add to cart, but when I submitted the order I got the error saying the item was only available in the US.

 

[Nine Banger]

Infuriating?

Thanks for setting up the caps, Ryan. I got some to go with my order from the first batch of scopes.

I have a set on a Maven. I had to get over the newness and train a little bit on the hands for speed and they are very nice.

 

[Kimber7man]

I have never seen scope caps come as a set. But, they should be the best damn scope caps out there for $124. Has there been any good reviews on them? Scope caps are a love hate relationship.

I figured I’d wait to get my scope, then measure it and order Aadland caps for $99…

 

[Marbles]

I was busy at work when the sale opened at 8, laughed and checked at 1245 when I got a few minutes, 12 left in stock, so I got one. Got the scope bumpers too, not sure they are worth it as I have hated every scope cap I have tried, but was a good time to give a set a try.

 

[Coopsdaddy]

Do the bumpers obstruct the view of a Mkm type scope level when open?

 

[eoperator]

Seems like when low has the scope in production they would make and ship all pre-order scopes? It would be a large invoice to swallow but likely cheaper.

 

[craigrh13]

What's special about these scopes? I have a zerotech thrive hd 2.5-15 that I love. Optical quality and the overall feel and accuracy of the adjustments is every bit as good or better than my trijicon credo.

Yea as soon as you start converting gross margin into operating margin lots of pricing starts to make a lot more sense.

In the case of these things the value they provide me is fine for the price, if they make a good margin on them I guess I dont really care. I would rather they be readily available whenever I want them for $150 a pair than not available for $75.
