They HAVE to improve the eyebox too. Mechanically perfect. Optical turd for the money. At least mine was.

Nightforce SHV 3-10x42. It's also available with an illuminated reticle.

Someone needs to make the same thing with a 1" tube. Not everyone needs enough travel to reach 1,000 yards.

ETA: It needs to track, hold zero, and be able to take a drop.

I like all the features of this scope…………..until I saw the price tag. Why in the heck is this $4000? Is it made of precious metals and diamonds?

Only thing this doesn't have is a locking elevation knob. In my experience the BDC dial doesn't move unless you do it purposely.

I didn't pay that much for mine(MOA) but it ticks all the boxes alpha glass and good repeatable internals come at a price

I don’t have much trouble finding scopes I like; the trouble is finding the money to buy them……….

Im still hoping for a really good 1" compact hunting scope with excellent glass that has solid adjustments AND dont weigh and pound and a half like all these 30mm Hubble telescopes that have flooded the market...Why spend the money for a great lightweight rifle then mount a scope on it that weighs more than the rifle? ....Hb

Tract Toric.

1" or 30mm
Roughly 20oz
Great tracking

My thoughts exactly, have dialed three of them. I guess some people are waiting to hear a name THEY want to hear, not what's out there and already works.....

I just got a 1" Tract Toric 2-10 a couple of days ago, BDC reticle rather than T-plex but same scope. Yesterday evening as it was getting dark I tried it out behind the house looking into a shaded area at what, for me, is a typical end of daylight deer shooting distance. Just for the sake of comparison, I tried three other scopes at the same time.

In my non-scientific test, the Tract was noticeably better than the other three and gave me enough enhanced detail to take a shot. It was slightly, but noticeably better than a Leupold VX III 3.5 - 10 X 40 that has given me excellent low light performance in the past. It was significantly better than a Nikon Monarch UCC 3.3-10 X 44 and a Burris FFII 3-9 X 40. All scopes were set at 6X for the "test."

So far I'm pleased with apparent optical quality etc. Hopefully I'm getting to the range Thursday to see how it actually works.

Thanks for the heads up on the Steiner. Will be interested in taking a look at one.

Chris AU:

Might want to look at the Maven RS1.2. Still waiting on one, but it looks like it would cover a lot of ground for you.

Tracts also address one of the most-mentioned shortcomings scopes have; the eye-relief is pretty generous, and stays very nearly the same throughout the power range.

Don’t know how many scopes I’ll be buying in the future, and I love my Trijicons, but if I do, Tract will get a hard look for something suitable for my purpose.

Not new but the Vortex Razor 3x15x42mm LHT does that for me at 19 oz.
