YES Ilya please do compare the 3-15 razor HD LH with the 3-5 Toric, The razor did not rate well in this review
http://www.outdoorlife.com/articles/hunting/2016/06/optics-test-14-new-riflescopes-reviewed-ranked-and-rated but it had the smallest objective lens of any scope tested I would dearly like to see the 3-15 razor HD LH compared to the vx6 3-18 and the zeiss conquest 3-15x44 HD5 especially when it comes to low light ability |

Honestly, not doing well in Outdoor Life is mostly a reminder to Vortex that they do not advertise enough, but anything is possible.
I have not looked at the 3-18x VX6 much, but the HD LH walks all over the Conquest, in my opinion. ILya

Since I was curious I went and looked at that link.
I have pretty good familiarity with about half of the scopes they tested. They are either blind or crazy. There are a lot of pearls there, but the best is that the lowest resolving scopes there were Leica ER LRS 6.5-26x56 and Meopta Meostar 8x56 (Zeiss Victory V8 being not much better). Cabela's Instinct (a re-badged MeoPro, a lower grade scope than the MeoStar) handily outresolves all three of the others. And the list goes on. ILya |

Schott glass, made in Japan, decent prices...all positives. 1" tubes (not a huge deal, but I have no rings for such), 2nd focal plane, no dialing (except for those lower end BDC* jobs)...negatives. Low end is more important than high, e.g. 3-15 beats 4-16. That's just me, but I won't be interested. The higher-end 8 and 10X bins look interesting though.
*I see they have a calculator, which is nice. Still my opinion of BDC scopes is that each one is different while once you learn drops for a mil-dot FFP you can switch scopes without compensation.

That they(some people) buy a scope, have it mounted, and that is the only scope they ever have, it never moves from that rifle… what did you think it meant???

FYI, I meant switching rifles, each with a different scope.

I used to switch scopes from rifle to rifle all the time… now I am more inclined to get a scope specifically geared to the rifle. Not sure it wasn't easier to switch scopes… at least I knew the few scopes I had intimately and had workups for each rifle I would change to, just a matter of dialing the adjustments, check zero and go. Not quite so easy with so many different scopes… some mil/MOA, some mil/mil, some MOA/MOA. A learning experience every time I decide to shoot a different rifle. Of course, thera are some that are "stand-by's" that don't get changed and get used often. |

Tract optics will not have a booth at Shot because they are a direct marketer and do not sell through regular distribution channels. Jon LaCorte said he and John Allen will attend to meet with the media.

I do not have time to track anyone down. I only have two days at the show. I'll talk to them if I run into then.

Switching scopes & rifles isn't cheap but it's less expensive than switching wives!
