Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Tract Optics -Response

That doe seems like she's got some whitetail blood. Which, if true, means they're near good water. Good year for antler growth, he might be a shooter.

She does have little ears for a mule deer. Good observation.


There is a haystack and some fields a few miles away so there very well could be whitetail in the area.

Seems like every little pothole out in the hills has been half full for practically the last 5 years!

Sam,

Like you, I'll be berated for saying this, but...

I had a couple of Zeiss Conquest with the Rapid Z 600 reticle which is very similar function and appearance to the Tract reticle. I absolutely loved the Rapid Z. Using the online calculator to determine what magnification to put the scope on to match subtensions to trajectory worked like a champ. I was easily able to get well centered 1st round hits on 8" steel,plates all the way out to 600 yards which was far as that reticle is set up for. It was very quick and very simple. I killed a nice whitetail with it, putting a 155gr Scenar through his heart at a bit over 300 yards. My son in law did the same on a doe, also at 300 yards, last December in a full value 15 mph wind by holding half again as much as the 10 mph mark showed. Center punched the heart.

The only reason I sent that scope down the road was that it lost zero and wouldn't track correctly during my efforts to re-zero it. After Zeiss took care of it under warranty, I was still afraid of it so let it go.

Point being, that if the Tract holds zero and tracks correctly, you've got a VERY effective medium range hunting setup. It will not be precise enough to head shoot bunnies at the in between ranges, but you can easily put a bullet in an 8" circle as far out as the reticle is designed for.

Sam,

That's about the size of the biggest I've seen so far, but have seen 2-3 that size. Saw a couple bigger ones before the season started, while bird hunting. They're around here somewhere...

The bigger bucks should be losing their cool soon! Hope you find him again.

Hondo, I actually have a R600 3.5-10x44 on a 300WSM.

It's accurate but I never did really like how the smaller duplex 'floats' out in the center. And I also had to send it in after about 2k rounds.



JB, the prime-time is coming right up, good luck to you as well!


Couple more days of working cows and I am outta here!

Spectacular images as usual Sam - thanks.

Eat pussy not deer.

This optic is pushing the 1K round mark and is still performing well. It has seen many miles of truck stalking, and we all know I treat objects like women. Only better.

But at the end of the day we will only have one man's/god's opinion. I propose I forward this optic to another Campfire member so we can have a more thorough review. Perhaps a total of three members (including myself) before the end of February?

What say thee?



Dave

add, things got Tractical...





Fred, double score!




Dave, perfect timing. I have an UBER bear hunt coming up and this scope will a nice addition.

Sammo the mighty Buck 110 brought luck

Scopes bleed?
Who knew?




P.S. Why were you mad at it?


Anyway, good morning.

Sam,

You're going to ruin the finish on your MT.

JeffO says he really knowledgeable........
If you want the opinion of the transgender dopers community.........

It would be interesting to see what an unemployed member of the LGBT community thinks.





Clark

MM, it's an extra fancy limited edition.....



Wages, good morning to you as well.

Living on the Rez makes stabbing things come naturally.




Dave, thanks for the tip but I already did a full cleaning detail on that rifle last night. Can't stand to have a dirty gun.

Tipi-creeping?

The original stabbin' cabin?

Triple SAMO. It was a killing fest.




The sun set on a perfect day.






One more to go.

I'd give it a run. Dunno how relevant what I'd do would be; I'd be primarily interested in how accurate and stable it was mechanically, so I'd be twisting those turrets w/o mercy. It doesn't appear to really be a "turret" scope so that might not be real fair.


I am still offering to help get one up to poor ol' Stick. I'll up my offer to $32 green American dollars and a used oil filter wrench. If you püssies would crack your wallets and pitch in we could get this thing DONE!

I love this pic!
