No one needs to run a test on the SS.... they’ve been performing for 20+ years, and have passed nearly every test throw at them. The Tract kicked ass in an Outdoor Life “shoot-out”... and there are Kardashian marriages that have been around longer than Tract.

Most guys I know, who hunt hard in hard terrain.... are pretty hard on rigs. Their “hunting conditions” are much closer to “military conditions”... though the consequences of their gear not working are far less severe. If your “hunting conditions” involve a short ride in the Gator to your box blind or tree stand.... then I’m sure that Tract has a scope just for you.

If your “hunting conditions” involve marathon length hikes up and down mountainous landscapes, with a rifle that gets strapped to a pack, stuffed in a scabbard, sling across your back, dropped, frozen, soaked, used as a hiking pole, and eventually needs the turret spun to make a shot.... then, at least for now, anything Tract is outta the question.


The last para is what I do, plus. 8 or so constant months of this and my Tract is still rock solid. As an aside, we can't get the SS scopes here (they won't export) so I have to compare my Tract with the likes of Zeiss - which it competes with no problem at every level. For more than 1/3 of the price.
