    Zerotech Scopes?

    Has anyone had any experience with Zerotech scopes? Saw them in a local shop and seemed pretty well priced, with a lifetime warranty. The guy told me they're popular with Australian precision shooters, but I've never heard of them. Considering getting one for a 300wm.
    Any help would me much appreciated.

    Cheers

    ZeroTech is a subsidiary backed by TSA Outdoors - (Tasco Sales Australia), which has more than 50 years of experience in the optics industry. They partnered with a well-regarded Chinese manufacturer and gave birth to ZeroTech. They are made and imported out of the same Chinese factory as the Burris Signature HD and Bushnell Match-Pro/Bushnell Forge scope lines (Bushnell Forge is very, very similar to Zerotech Trace 4.5-27x50).
    A good job and a good wife has been the ruin of many a good hunter.

    700grams 24oz for the 3-15, the 3-18x56 is 862g or 29oz that's way heavy what comparable scope weights 1.9 pounds?

    leupold 3-15 vx5HD is 19.7oz
    Swaro Z5(i) 3.5-18 X 44 BT 1" version is 16oz and 2099 that would be my pick still 90% light transmission

    There's no free lunch with weight.
    Ask Greg Duley after one of the Swarovski on his rigs got dropped and bent and ruined the trophy of a life time for the lady doing the shooting.
    Fark that!

    Yeah but NFs are not just scopes. Can be used as clubs, hammers etc.

    4-32x50 Nightforce NX8 is in the 800gm bracket. For a tank and a very useful optic, pretty well weighted imo

    If it was my money and without breaking the bank burris signature or various Athlon optics the American long range shooters rave about the Athlons for value for money and quality. Looking at zerotechs prices theres alot of good / better scopes out there for the same'ish money, athlon has a lifetime warranty aswell so piece of mind for you or next owners
