Thread: New LR 'Scope

looks very similar to the trijicon tactical scope i think

They reckon they use the highest grade of glass available from Schott

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 .

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

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.

@SlimySquirrel I paid customs' today and will have it in a couple of days. The final all up price to my gate was $1,285.00

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.

So I've had it for 24 hours and done an initial assessment.

Well packaged but no sort of lens caps.
Its a gun metal grey colour.
Everything works as it should.
Crisp etched reticle.
Turret dial-able and sharp clicks. Not mushy. Taller target turret with zero stop and cover provided as an extra in the box.
Weighs 20 oz

I've compared it to a new HD5 I've just received back from the factory.
I think the glass on the HD5 might be very slightly brighter, but it has always suffered from light flare on the lens. I tested them both for this with a lamp in the background and the HD5 showed red flare and the Toric was perfect.

More once Ive tried it on a rifle.
