New MPVO - Zero Tech 1.5-12x36 FFP Vegence HD

[beetroot]

A mate sent me this video (don't bother watching it is a complete waste of 8mins) that suggests a new MVPO is going to be released soon.
Zero Tech isn't a brand that pops up very often, I believe they are quite popular in Australia though.

The video is terrible and contains no useful information but the fact a 1.5-12 is on the way is interesting.
A lot of their scopes are just Chinesium but I believe they do have some Japanese made scopes, this design kinda looks like some other JOL scopes so who knows could be Japanese.

There is at least one other company working on a 1.5-12x that I know of. They are credible and it is coming. Not from China.

Interesting, will be excited to see what other companies bring to the table.
If it's a JOL design I'm guessing we will see a lot of different flavours of this scope in no time.

Heres hoping company's are paying attention to the reticles in these scopes.

Rough timeline?

Horrendous video. Scope may be interesting. I give it a 40% chance of actually being interesting

You cant say I didn't warn you about the video!

My expectation these days is that there will be something major wrong with it.
If it weighs less than 25oz I'll be shocked.

I’ve got a Burris SixX 2-12 on my hunting rifle. It’s a GREAT hunting scope. There should be more of these on the market IMO!

Someone in the comments of this video says that Primary Arms is also coming out with a 1.5-12.
Unfortunately if they do it'll likely have an ACSS type reticle.

Again the video isn't worth watching, although there is some unintended comedic value.

So it's essentially a poor man's version of the phenomenal 25-ounce March-FX 1.5-15X42 with dual focal plane reticle. A bit late to the party.

It is going to be a very different beast, with a different price and aimed at a different market to some degree. The core design is very competent.

Have you seen the base model?
I hope it's better than the 2-12 JOL scopes, as the ones of those I saw weren't great.

I'm assuming it's a JOL scope and based off their 4-32 scope.

The only JOL 2-12x I have seen is the Blackhound Emerge and optomechanically, it is quite nice, but a bit heavy.

The scope that's coming out has nothing in common with it.

Understood. Are you referring to the optics on this thread or the one you mentioned?

My response was to the statement challenging other companies to come up with a similar 1.5-12X range optics. I was just pointing out that the March 1.5-15X42 already exists, and has been around fir while already.

That said, it's always a good thing for other manufacturers to come up with new offerings, at various price points.
