Hi Guys, Just getting back from vacation and some good news popped up. OL did another test and the TRACT Tekoa got some great ratings. I know not everyone is favorable of their reviews, but its great to see some of the newer companies, especially TRACT, getting some attention and accolades. Link to the review below. OL's best scopes of 2017

Interesting. OL plays to a certain crowd. I know I can't justify $2000+ for optics and $3000+ for the rifle, but some can apparently or OL wouldn't keep putting them in the rag. Thanks for the link.

Congratulations! Mule Deer reviewed the Toric scope in the newest issue of Guns and seemed to like it. Did y'all send him a bino to review as well?

I worked at Opticsplanet for a good little stint and we sold quite a bit of the $1500+ optics. However, those sales weren't even a blip on the map compared to the sub $1000 optic sales.

I should have added that I appreciate Tract offering optics a "commoner" can swing. Kudos!

A sub 26 oz scope with 25x magnification and 50mm bell with a Mil based and Moa based reticle (no bdc, no bdc, no bdc) that tracks 100% and you will own the market.

Build something about like the SWFA 3-9 (~20 ounce, mil/mil) with a low profile covered windage turret and zero stop elevation, and ~3.75" of eye relief........that most importantly stays in line and tracks correctly, and you will sell a bunch.

I'd be down with this, to include a illumination and I'd sell a bunch of my stuff.

Appreciate the comment. We do have the majority of that covered and possibly soon, that matched reticle to turret...

May be something very close to that on the not too far horizon... Great, that would fit the bill nicely for a long range hunting scope that could be used for tactical as well. Not sure what reticles your looking at offering but the Kahles skmr 3 and the Minox Mr4 are overwhelmingly the most popular that I hear shooters say because of the open center dot which allows for precise aiming. I have a Athlon Cronus on my tac/hunting rig and while the glass is good and it tracks correctly, I have problems on small targets and deer at distance because the cross hair is too thick. Do what you want, just throwing that out there.
