Outdoor like voted the zeiss terras the binocular of the year a few years back, which maybe the worst binoculars ever made.

It is a good thread. I wonder how good the scopes are, as Tract states they use HT glass on their top line scopes.

Outdoor Life is nothing more than a paid prostitute for products. I and another guy shot shot a Kimber .22 singleshot with a 36X Leupold for a gun writer. The rifle alone cost $1,200 back then. The best I could do with about a dozen brands of ammo, including a few target brands, was about 1 3/8" on the 50 yard target. When the article came out I thought the other guy did some mighty fine shooting. The article had groups like .375", .400", .470", etc. He thought I did all the good shooting so I asked the author about it. He said, and I quote because I will never forget it, "I must have left off the 1". Well I owed him a favor anyway."
I wrote an article many years ago about a 7mm-.300 Weatherby. The editor had me shooting groups with bullets I never heard of.
Since then I don't believe any of the articles in any of the magazines; with the exception of Varmint Hunter and Precision Shooting. But then, both of them are gone.

I agree that the way OL picks the optics and how they rate the optics is very questionable.

I have a 3-15x42 t-plex toric. I am very pleased with the scope. When I called tract with questions I talked to one of the owners. That doesn't happen with many companies in my experience anyways. I compared the scope to some vx-3's and conquest's. I'm no expert but to my eyes I thought the toric was noticeably better then either scope. The eye relief is great and the scope comes with two elevation turrets. My only dislike is the color.
