    Tahr it will be interesting to hear your thoughts on this new scope once you have had time to shoot with it, sounds good for the money.

    Tracking says it’s been at customs for 10 days and I haven’t heard a peep from them yet.

    A comparable scope would be the well-thought-of SWFA ?


    Tract Toric 4-20x50 963g 348mm 20mRad USD1154
    SWFA SS 5-20x50 890g 372mm 30mRad USD1499
    S&B PMII 5-20x50 870g 299mm 16mRad USD3639

    I suppose "less is more" if a Schmidt comes into your budget .

    Price indication on the Zero Comp scopes is $3500-$3600 USD
    They look good.... but at price I'd go for an ATACR until they get really established?

    Interested in your thoughts when your scope gets here Thar.. what was the total cost or are you still waiting on the good folk at customs?

    NZD 1,235.00 inc GST delivered will be very close unless there are other customs charges. But no more than 1,300 I expect. When I was considering it I was comparing it with a VX5 for price and similarity.

    I've ordered a a ballistic turret for it too.

    Toric aren't actually geared for export so all my dealings have been direct with one of the owners Jon Allen. A bit of mucking around through emails but no problems at all. The replies are very quick and very obliging.

    I've always liked trying out new and interesting gear and I'm really looking forward to getting this on a rifle. I have high expectations.

    I've put in the Hawke as a lower priced, higher spec comparison to bracket the Toric.
    Each scope name has a link to a site with more details.

    Hawke Frontier FFP 5-25x56 810g 397mm 15mRad USD769
    Tract Toric 4-20x50 963g 348mm 20mRad USD1154
    SWFA SS 5-20x50 890g 372mm 30mRad USD1499
    S&B PMII 5-20x50 870g 299mm 16mRad USD3639

    Hope I never find out They said lifetime. I return it and they decide whether to fix or replace.

    Their service is great. I have traded about 15 emails with them and never waited longer than a few hours for a reply from one of the owners. Amazing.
