With no animus toward anyone, I would suggest that the only way Tract can avoid irreparable harm is to release some (4?) of their upper tier scopes for testing to some of the better shooters that frequent this board. Form and Jordan come to mind. I don't mean to leave anyone out...I know there are really quite a few shooters that could easily wring a scope out and reveal any failures should one or more occur; Form has helped me tremendously in the past and I have been aware of his vocation for a while. Jordan stands out because he clearly and dispassionately explains his understanding of whatever is the thread's subject. He writes very clearly and covers a topic he writes about very thoroughly. He also shows his targets/game and it is self-evident that he is an ace with a rifle. The other "aces" are apparent when they post, but they tend not to post that much.
