Haven't had a chance to test if it holds zero, but mounts just fine and has nice clear glass. Centered vertically true to a plumb line with the crosshairs which is always a plus!It's a great kzfaq.infoUgkxc4K63Fd5LglDMObu7-Bgapxp_ef0W8hE scope. There's no parallax adjustment or focus ring, so may be limited to 3-7x, have to see how it is on the range. Also be aware that the rings are "look through" so you can still use irons, but they are really tall if you only intend to use the optics. On a 22LR no biggie since I'm not shooting competitions or worried about a hard cheek press. Will boresight and range test, if all goes well, I'll leave it at that!

I bought the Tract scope about 6 months ago because of Joe’s videos and emailing him and I can tell you guys it’s that good! And what a great guy to buy a scope like that from, the owner of Tract is a great guy and helped me out, I can’t say enough about his scopes.

Just got a tract 4.5 - 30 x 56. My gawd the clarity of the glass, the ease and solid feel of the turrets and just overall quality are expected from optics costing another 1000 or more. It's that good...honest. And to get emails from the owners with a thanks and a reassurance of service after the sale....who does that. Jon and Jon at Tract Optics...thats who.

BTW. Great format in putting the "specs" side by side toward the beginning and then covering the individual "features" later in the video while showing each scope. I am sure that extra touch with all the brand logo's different fonts size and making all that sh!t fit in all the neat little boxes took a sh!t load of extra time. "With all due respect" as you would put it, your "dumb ass is frickin' nailing it" at doing a better job every video. Thanks for showing us and other KZfaqrs that being yourself while working on doing the best you can on your content is what makes a great channel. Keep it up Joe! BTW I don't know crap about KZfaq analytics, but don't be afraid to always toward the end ask the viewers to do all the stuff that helps your stat's. It only takes 10 seconds to ask. Use your always humble "that means so much to me and helps me out out more than you will ever know" statement. Capitalize on the fact that you are always genuine. I would say people that watch your content aren't professional viewers that know the drill, but rather normal folks like us that are just trying to pick up some knowledge about scopes. Cheers!

I have the Riton (Mod 7) 4-32x56 (brass internals) which is the predecessor of the Riton (X7) 4-32x56. The included throw lever should have been a screw on/screw in "fin" rather than a vertical "post" because I can't get the full magnification range on my scope when throw lever is installed due to bolt clearance/interference on my bolt action chassis setup. I lose either the very top or very bottom of the magnification range. Other than that, I really like it. I haven't had a need to go beyond 28X magnification (amazing at 28X and below). It has really good clarity up to 32X for the price range. Locking Turrets are the only other thing it lacks from my wish list. The Riton Optics (X7) 3-24x56 with the chevron tip reticle may be a more preferable experience. The Tract Toric 4.5-30x56 has everything I've ever wanted in a FFP scope & I prefer it's reticles and warranty over the Delta Stryker, however the Delta Javelin 4.5-30x56 SMR-1 could possibly be my next FFP scope (Made in China like almost everything else I own). The Trijicon 5-50x56 MRAD Tenmile/Accupower will likely be the most expensive (ELR; SFP scope) I'll purchase because I prefer the Trijicon MRAD Reticle, however the Delta Stryker HD 5-50x56 with DLS-1 reticle will likely be a better buy, especially if they are close in price and availability. Trijicon has the lifetime warranty vs. 10 year warranty.

Joe, you hit it out of the park with this one. I'm in pig heaven here - so many specs I had to put my sh*t kickers on. But you didn't get into glass (okay you mentioned "European" for the Valdata). I think all of them except the Tract and Valdatas have Japanese glass - nothing wrong with it but the German glass is always touted as best. Meopta, Rudolph, Maven, Steiner, Zeiss aren't on the list, but those are more hunting scopes, not tactical. Leica is coming out with a new Amplus in this price range in August but again, classified as hunting.

@OC_Lofton 3 жыл бұрын

Only the new Valdada 4.8-30x56 40mm tubed G2 scope contains Japanese glass. The only Japanese lens in the scope that is Japanese is the 56mm objective lens. It is the highest grade of Japanese Low Dispersion glass. All of the other lenses in the scope are from German Schott Glasswerke. As far as the other Valdada scope - they use German Schott glass no matter where they are manufactured (Instrument Optics Romania mostly).

Was or were any of the Riton scopes considered?

I don't know that much about scopes I'm looking at night force and Leupold HD5 scopes I feel if I spend more money I'll be safe and I won't regret it... I'm looking at $3000 scopes If I buy one I can move it from 1 rifle to another

The Delta has great glass, Tract also, Vortex is way way way way behind on glass the more power the worse vortick gets

How do you feel about the leupold mark4 4.5-14x50mm er/t m5? Its a old design but I have had it for years and love it. I have it on my bergara b14 wilderness hmr 6.5 creedmoor and go from 10 to 1000yards no problems.

Hey Joe, I know its all a coin toss here, and I appreciate you mentioning reticle preference as a deciding factor. I would like to add another scope you have reviewed the Maven 4.5-30x56, which I think I might prefer. Having not looked thru the Delta, Tract or Maven I am not sure the one to pick. I am currently using the Arken ep-5 and the Midas Tac 5-25 on my rimfire rifles

The Maven rs-4 has very slightly sharper glass but not quite as good of color rendition as the Toric. Can't go wrong with either, I have the Toric and my brother has the Maven.

Hi Joe, on the Valdada/ IOR line there is a scope that nobody refers to, the Patriot 9-36x56, any reason why? I see Recon's, Spiders and this tactical line reviews and feedback but not that specific one.

I've got a SWFA 5-20x50 HD. It's a great scope for the money. I picked it up used with a sunshade and throw lever. It's built like a tank, and has performed very well.
