Tract scopes

I have two, the 30mm on my rifle in the picture and a Tekoa 2-10 for my CVA black powder. Both have Schott glass, the Toric has Schott HT which I compared to a friends Kahles at the range and it is just as good for just under $1300. I have a Vortex Razor 3-15 hunting scope which is pretty good but if I didn't already have a 3-15 I would definitely buy a Toric 3-15. They have some on sale for a great deal, I called Jon to ask if there is an upgrade coming and he said they are reducing inventory on those models.

Any info on the update(s) that are going to be implemented?

I have the Toric 3-15x42 (1", BDC reticle, 20 oz.), but it's new. I may have a chance to get it to the range for the first time tomorrow. If I do, I'll run a tracking test and compare the clarity to a Swarovski Z3 4-12x50 I'll be bringing along.

Tested the tracking of my Toric 3-15x42 today. 14 shots alternating up and down 10 MOA until I had two groups of 7. The center point of each group was right on at 10.5" apart. The clarity compared well to my Swarovski Z3 4-12x50. I could not really discern a difference in daylight. I need to test further at first/last light. But so far I'm pleased with the Toric. One thing I noticed is that the windage cap is somewhat prominent. It's not a problem with ejection, just more obtrusive than the Z3.

I understand that are some higher power scopes in the discussion phase at Tract to address those who either can or "think" they can effectively use 30 power or more. I believe there are applications that warrant such a build with the rise of extreme long range shooting, King of 2 mile and such but that market is pretty well set with very high quality optics for those disciplines. Not to imply that a comparable optic from a direct sales business model with no middle men means reduced cost when compared to those that are 2k and up would not make an impact but they're still pretty new as a company and keeping up with demand is a delicate balancing act between building and selling. That said, these guys have the industry experience and background to not get too far ahead of the game prematurely. Obviously I like them, I have two and will have more as the need arises.

What sites have you found these scopes on that ran a sale?

Tract has a outlet sale site. I got my 3-12X50 Tekoas for $200.00 off. About a 33% discount. I'm thinking about buying more.

Everything I see about these scopes makes me want to try one.

I wrote about it some time ago and I really love this scope with its outstanding glass.

I have three. The 30mm MRAD has been on my duty rifle (pictured left) for about a year and a half, I did a full tall target test using the Applied Ballistics guideline. It is dead on at all points. I don't mind the weight for its intended purpose as a working tactical rifle.

I also have the Tekoa 3-15 on my Browning ABII for a lightweight hunting rig, I replace a Razor LH 3-15 with the Tract and put the Razor on my Rem700 270.

I have a Tekoa 2.5-10 on my CVA Apex muzzle loader, way better than the Bushnell black powder scope it replaced.
I did a comparison at the range with a friend who has a Kahles K624i, when he got behind my Tract 30mm MRAD, he was very surprised at the image quality and tried hard to find anything below par as compared to the Kahles with no deficits. I bought the 3-15 for under $400 on the outlet page at Tract, I wish I'd bought more when they were on sale.
