IMO when 99% of everything you test, "fails", there's a problem with the test.


It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Didn't look like this. Surprised for a lumberjack. Must be an apprentice here. Very frail looking stick

I'd agree, but I think his mindset is that any one optic off the assembly line should perform so if a single unit fails his test, then that speaks for the QC of the whole model. There should be virtually zero outliers when you are spending quality money on optics. But that's not reality. There are single unit flaws in production. I'd like to see 3 or 4 units of each model tested.

Yeah, I'm not willing to buy 4 scopes to send him either, I get that too.

I also take his test with a grain of salt overall. The drops are excessive and not the typical wear and tear I expect my gear to see. In other words, if my rife and scope took even a single direct fall onto a hard surface, I'd want to fire a test shot to confirm zero regardless of whether or not it has passed the 'test'. I am obligated to making an ethical shot on game. For those that are hunting extreme conditions, I'd pay closer attention to his findings.

Agreed, but if he has a good test, he needs to verify.

I took one heck of spill in Africa. The rifle/scope landed on a rock. I would not even think of shooting an animal until I checked it. Ranged a rock at 110 yards, shot off the hood and splattered the rock. Will not even mention the scope. It has been on dozens of rifles. Used to use it for load development. Now I just use a SWFA 10x for that.

I don’t know man. When you write elk hunting stories about falling off snow cliffs to kill a rag horn. Expect people to believe the story and think backpack elk hunting is something extraordinary. Admit you are a rookie elk hunter, then a few years later you are the end all know all…maybe those drops aren’t excessive.

I remember that. If there ever was an exhibition of extreme ego that was it.

The dudes over on RS won't wipe their asss without asking his permission. It's hilarious.

I remember the Formidilosis hunting tales of yore. They were pretty over the top.The main issue I had with the guy is that he absolutely can not abide a difference of opinion. And it got a little hard to take him seriously sometimes with his constant high level of anonymity. If you want to use an exceptional amount of "work" experience as a kind of ultimate gear and technique arbiter, then you better eventually qualify exactly what that experience consists of. IIRC, it goes so far that if he does a pod cast or some such thing they modulate his voice. I have a couple of acquaintances who were legitimate operators and some work associates who work under cover, and they weren't prolifically posting all over the internet while also trying to maintain a kind of secret identity.

I will say that I've found most of his gear recommendations that I've tried and or had previous experience with to be on the mark.

You could drive any normal person off of any forum by posting 1000 times on a thread per day
