Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Introduction, the new voice of Tract optics here on the Campfire

Showoff

I've never had a Leupold 6x42 lose zero, lots of different scopes, lots of miles, drops, falls, etc. I have one mounted on a .223 Montana that lives in a gun boot on an atv driven every day. I just got tired of having to shoot 3 shots after an adjustment. I'm still a big fan of the LRD on a set and forget.

I've gone to the B&C reticle in my VX3. It matches up perfectly with the ballistics in my 7-08/140AB/2800fps load.

Need one of these to test scopes. MAST test rig

Instrument the gun, scope. Record data. Condition data for use with MTS controller, run test.

Or a 3 axis EDS for higher frequency testing, and shock testing. EDS

For the wifes [bleep] maybe. Wouldn't work for a scope. JFC!

Over sensored 5 letter word for a strap on.

Dil do does this work?

Quite a rig.

How far did they have to carry the deers legs?

Will the tract scope hold up to military grade hunters with balls the size of watermelons and hard as steelies?

Some hunters you could give a $30 rifle and a $50 tasco and point em toward hell and they'd come home with meat on the table! Other hunters might not be able to hunt there way out of a wet paper bag. That's just the facts of life and 95% of us have all seen it more than once.

I'm very confident tract will get it done with no worries and I'd have zero reservation hunting one..........but, I've never had to swim the Atlantic or climb a mountain twice as high as mount Everest just to fill my freezer.

I’ve experienced many scope failures in the field, so I’m not as flippant about wanting durable, mechanically-sound scopes on my rifles. With our current technology, scopes are the most fragile part of a rifle setup. When you think about your rifle possibly failing you under harsh conditions (weather, drops, falls, etc), what’s the first thing that comes to mind? That’s right, it’s your scope. If a manufacturer will make a scope that can minimize the risk of my rifle setup failing, I’m all for using it over more tender scope options on the market. Hence my general question: What’s the downside to having scopes that function correctly and can beat tent pegs and not lose zero? A couple of ounces? I’ll take the weight penalty, personally. That’s a worthwhile tradeoff IMO.

There are scopes that are built this way at every price point above $250, so money is no excuse to not build a scope made to work properly without failing.

Well you must not be one of "Some hunters you could give a $30 rifle and a $50 tasco"

What? There are plenty of good $30 rifles on the market.

Jordan Smith, I agree with you on much of what you said and I've always appreciated your approach that is both classy and respectful when making a reply to anyone on this forum. In fact I use a SWFA fixed 6 on my main hunting rifle for a reason. I know how well the SWFA fixed 6 works mainly because I have first hand experience and so I can make a respectful and classy reply that is based on experience concerning the SWFA fixed 6. I've used 3 of the SWFA 10s and there of the same quality IME though I prefer the 6 in most hunting situations I find myself in. Until I have first hand experience with Tract I choose to reserve judgement the same as I would for any decent person I run across.

One thing that does have me somewhat baffled sir is why someone as respectful and classy as yourself is choosing to mingle with some so called cesspool dwellers that have repeatedly shown a complete lack of respect for others and in this case based on zero first hand experience with the product.

You sir are one of the good guys and whenever you invite yourself into someone else's camp I've never seen you do it with contempt or disdain. You most certainly would be welcome in my camp anytime and likely most others around here. Your a valued campfire member by the majority. 16 bore is another great campfire member though lately I'm begining to wonder why he's choosing to take an unclassy road based on his Association with cesspool dwellers. I think both you valuable members should rethink your class and your worth and choose Association based on your worth around here.

Me......Im just one campfire member that isn't afraid to treat cowards and cesspool dwellers like the disrespectful schit they choose to be. In fact some have even offered to make a truce or befriend me if I would only apologize for my unkind acts. Why would I want to befriend anyone who walks into another man's camp unannounced treating folks with contempt and disdain???

Trystan.... you’re a lying piece of schitt.... you’ve proved time and time again. You should come back “tomorrow”...

They say everything is bigger in Texas...John, you need a bigger ATV, or shoot smaller deer. 😃😎

I'm lucky more than anything else.

Thanks for your response, but that wasn't what I was looking for. It seems that you're just regurgitating info that you read, or were told.

I'm respectfully asking for a response from someone at Tract that actually knows what they are talking about in terms of random vibration, impact loads, etc. In other words, an authoritative figure that can elaborate on these marketing claims.

I suspect that nobody at Tract has this knowledge, and that is OK. The manufacturer probably does have that information and knowledge. What I don't care for is Tract, or their latest online representative just throwing out, "replicates impacts equivalent to 1000G force" when they don't seem to know what they are talking about.

Throw out the technical details, jargon, and info. We can handle it!

Thanks,

Jason

For reference, my post above contains the original question that was asked. I am still waiting for an answer.

Thanks,

Jason

Yeah, but that was only for a few weeks.
