I'd buy one as well. I'm always struggling with gettting the scope straight. kwg

Excited to try it. nsaqam, my rifles are en route to you to complete the experiment..........didn't think you'd mind, as this is my way of contributing to see if this thing's worth a crap. 
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

These must be very close to being offered to the public because the product is refined and the packaging is professional. They look completely store ready to me.

I've been using the Reticle-Tru tool some more. I bought an H&R .22WMR with a 4X Bushnell Banner from a Fire contributor. This is one of the older Bushnell Banners made in Japan. They're actually pretty good scopes. This one is mounted in the old style Weaver rings. I noticed the reticle was slightly off, so another chance to use the new tool. The eyepiece on this scope is very slick and Delrin is a self lubricating, slick material. Even with two rubber bands, it was proving a challenge to not bump the tool and change the alignment. I put a piece of blue 3M painters tape in the "V", which added just enough friction to lightly grip the ocular. I also used two rubber bands. I didn't have the slippage problem with matte finished scopes, just this one. I held a ruler against the left side of the H&R action and indexed the left edge of the Reticle-Tru with the ruler. Worked perfectly. With those old Weavers, I started with the reticle in perfect alignment, tightened the one sided screw set up and noticed how much the scope had shifted. I then started over with the same amount of opposite cant, then re-tightened the screws, pulling the scope into perfect alignment. So, there are a couple of ideas with flat sided receivers and with old style Weaver rings. That's about the easiest alignment with old Weavers I've ever done in many moon of messing with those sorry things...  They're actually good, strong, low weight rings, just a pain to mount a scope with the reticle straight. This tool makes those old rings less of a pain...

I guess as long as the tape it "blue", it fits with the legacy of blue tape on the Fire... DF

Once I pick one up, I can see a long weekend in the garage mounting new scopes and remounting old ones...

Jerry let me know he's working overtime to get this tool produced and ready to ship. I think he's pushing about as hard as he can and he'll keep us in the loop as things progress.

Jerry wrote me a very nice hand written letter which he included in my sample Reticle-Tru.
He mentioned how much incredibly difficult and time consuming work is involved in bringing something like this to market.
He also said that it's far more work than his regular full-time job was!
I will say that, having been a QC inspector at an aerospace machining firm, this product is very well machined. All the edges are broken, there are no burrs, the angles are true, and the critical slot is perfect. Overall a fantastic job of machining and finishing. And I know how much of a PITA deburring Delrin can be.

It is a well made product.
Individually CNC machining each part and the cost of Delrin can run the cost. I'm sure he's working on producing the tool as inexpensively as possible.
I agree with you on the attractive logo and packaging. Jerry is a real artist and I would expect no less from him.
