And where is this number (whatever is is) going to come from? Tract? Does BrianFormJordan have to buy them?
Or do we all have to buy them them and test them ourselves and post our reviews?
One here and one there doesn't cut it so come on all buy up a bunch and send them for testing.
How did Nightforce ever do it?


When you have one test... and it fails... what else do you need to know?

Form’s tests hold a lot of water, at least in my experience, because they’re thorough, and relatively objective. He has few requirements... and they all lead to hitting schitt repeatedly at various distances under stress to rifle,optic,mounts, and shooter. If wares cant hang, they’re weeded out quickly...

I’ve owned and used/abuses the vast majority of scopes from the usual suspects the Tract is being compared to here.... SWFA, NF, Bushnell LRHS, Leupolds, etc.... my experience mirrors closely what guys like Form/Jordan/4th see. There’s a reason those guys are skeptical of Tract.... as am I.

One review/test/failure here... one there.... doesn’t really cut it, but they can lead to a general preponderance of circumstantial evidence leaning one way or another. Whom/What you choose to believe is the real trick.

You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......
