My 2nd Tract Toric 3-15 arrived today. Its to go on my Schultz & Larsen 6.5x55. It had a nice SWAFA 3-14 on it which left my house in the grasp of CraigC for his 300RUM :)
The Tracts are very good. Ive bashed my first Toric around and its stood up well. Dials reliably and very good glass.
NZD1,385.00 landed and all charges paid. We are taking a hammering with the .65c dollar.

Astute purchase. Good to hear they hold up to a little use, I’m yet to fit mine to my rifle as @Puffin seems to want to keep it.

Looks like a good option, where are they manufactured? Where did you buy ?
They are made in Japan by LOW who make scopes and components for a variety of top brands (including Nightforce).Quote:

Do this model come with the optional exposed turrets?Quote:

Yes. My 3-15 Zeiss HD5 and SWFA 3-14.Quote:

For that money would you not just buy a bushnell 6500 or a vx5?
I initially thought that about the VX5 too. But imported at the same NZD value the Toric is circa $500 cheaper and you get better glass. My first Toric was $1100 landed against $1600 + here for a VX5 at the time.Quote:

I will be 80 and won't care much :thumbsup:
My kids can haggle over any guarantee issues :)
Hi is it x42 or x50mm ?
Have you weighed it yet ?
I'm looking for a lighter weight scope, can compromise on some aspects but trying for under 500g (18 oz) but most scopes with parallax seem oriented to PRS target work where weight is no worry. A 1" tube could be good.
Mine is a 42mm. They come in 50mm too.Quote:

Tract Toric 4-20ื50 FFP Mil Review ยป OpticsThoughts
be tempted to get one if the $ wasn't so bad
Buy one of these then instead, or one of the other closeout specials.

Half the price and you'll only be missing out on the Toric glass.

Thanks, worth consideration.
Also contact Jon direct at Tract to get a price on freight. If you order online the freight price includes what they predict in tax & duty & is very high.
How's your scope going @Tahr ?
This is very tempting for a 6.5 06 if yours is holding up well.

I wonder if they will let scopes in these days, haven't bought one for 2-3yrs from overseas, bought my last N/F New, Local.
I have 2, Brian has 2. Reliable. Can take a bash. Good optics. Click accurately.
Highly recommended. The owners will be very helpful about getting one here. Contact them through the pop up box on their web site.
Thanks.
Had done just that but had a message saying they would be away for awhile and would get back so thought I'd hunt down your thread and ask
Glad they are working out.
The one I linked to has features I would like and isn't isn't absorbent price compared to some . Just naturally concerned about the longevity.
hope these guys are still in biz if i need new scope cause they seem closest to my m3 mornarchs now nikon out of scope biz 🙄
They can take a bash.
