TRACT Toric. They are made in the LOW factory using HD German Schott glass. As well, they are direct sellers from the States so are cheaper than many of their competitors - and in many instances way ahead. Just order straight off their web site as they only direct sell. Say you are from NZ and what you want & they will email you.

Jezz what is it with you guys and your 'must own it or can't recommend it' fixation?

My long-term shooting mate who goes out to the range with me every 2 weeks has a TORIC UHD 3-15X50 rifle scope. I've used it on many occasions at the range but not out hunting. He recommends it highly.

Well, to be honest, I only like to make recommendations of things that I have actually tried and given a good shake down. Recommendations ought to be qualified. Any fool can scan the internet, collect information from other people and sources and then make recommendations.

There are not many Torics in NZ. I know this because I have 3 Toric scopes, 2 x Tract Toric binos and have a reasonable client relationship with the owners. Naturally I was interested in your experience with them.

Previously you have rated and categorised brands of scopes that you have (later) said that you had no hands on experience with.
