My first thought as I opened the box was I really don't have time to do this today. Once the box was open and the scope was in hand, I forgot about dinner and garbage duties and yelled up stairs to the wife, "I'm out it's all on you." My first impression was that the scope was robust for a 1" tube and a touch on the heavy side. I turned the dials and was pleasantly surprised that every .25 MOA change came with a positive and very deliberate click. Once to my eye, I was very impressed with the clarity. The response was easily as good or better than my nxs night force as well as my VX-6. Skip ahead twenty minutes, I have the scope mounted and am comparing it to a VX-2 3x9, 3x15 SS with MOA-moa, as well as an old school 4.5. X14 VX3 Tactial. The Response was optically the superior of the other three however, I found the little lines/hash marks on either side of center in the reticle very annoying and out of place. I sat trying to figure what in the hell they could possibly be used for (it could grow on me). Once I get the scope on my bench and some rounds down range, I will give further opinions and findings.











Ps the steal its on is way better than 2moa 😏

Love it Fred. Looking forward to reading your reviews and seeing those pics.

fredIII, for tracking purposes (no pun intended) is this the scope from deflave and his previous review?

Too bad there are no 30mm tube offerings.

Yes, I sent it to him.

Concur with everything he said but I don't own a NF or VX-6.

If I were you.... I'd keep the theft of that rifle on the down-low...

Well, not yet...

🤓. The worst part is it's a 5.56 and I only have 223 ammo. 😂

Was an attempt at humor with my free gun part problem. It was a steal made of aluminum and steel. But you knew that.

I'm hoping y'all don't do away with the one inch tube when the 30mm is introduced. Often they look, feel, and balance better than what looks, feels, and balances like a chunk of pipe on the top of a lightweight rifle. Don't leave us dinosaurs behind.

At 400 plus 5.56 rounds, scopes performance is flawless in zero retention and optically awesome. Got this from the boss man at tract. For those that wanted to know. I can't fall in love with the reticle.

As long as performance is perfect, I'll take that critique on a reticle any day

Glad you're having fun with it!

Can a custom turret be ordered for this line of scopes?

That is a question Trevor should answer. I can only speak to the scope in hand.

Have you tried a repeatability test?

Yes, I have ran it in 5 MOA from zero to its max out and back three times on paper. It returns to zero every time so far. On my ar the max out was at 34 MOA, I believe. I would need to look at my notes to be sure. The adjustment moved with in .5" at all stops. That is the margin of error on my rifle.
All movements of the turret are still crisp. If tract does this scope with a MOA reticle I will buy a couple. It's really nice in the glass category. I'm heading east in a couple weeks or so to try it on a yote or two.

Once the snow melts I am going to try it out at 1000 with some 77otm that shoot in the .4" in my bison 5.56.
I also just got a hunter kimber in 6.5 creedmoor that it might make an appearance on.
