Two thumbs up brother for your review, editing, and commentary! One thumbs up for the optic. In today's manufacturing of optics, I feel a new company should stand apart from all of the run ot the mill companies.... I would have been thrilled if it was a 34mm tube and had illumination. To some people that might not be critical, but to me, it is in a market of hundreds of great optics that have stood the test of time. Concerns would be, company longevity, customer service and support, and origin of manufacturing. Great job brother! Keep it up!
At that price point and for the quality abs repeatability that it s showing it will fill a niche for a scope with the features this has for way under $1500 which is generally around the price paid for scopes at this quality level. As always Joe a great review that helps us get a good idea of the scopes Performance and build quality.
Great reviews as always mate. Your channel is awsome and you speak my language , no bullshit with a nipple twister. Best scope reviews on the planet. Just wish alot of them weren't made in China. But man they do represent good value for the money though. At the end of the day its all about the budget and for this price you get something that will do the job very well.
Hey Joe, hope you’re well. I must admit, I’m not familiar with this optic. It looks pretty darn nice though. So many nice scope these days and so little money! Have a great time at EBR with the “boys”. Stoti
Joe, I look forward to new videos from you more than just about any other channel I follow. I love learning new things and if I can be amused at the same time it's just perfect....and you NEVER FAIL TO DO BOTH BUDDY!!! "A mule with 3 midgets stacked on top of it, with a crackhoe stacked on top of them" might be the funniest analogy in YT history!!! (Arken v Vortex video) Honestly, you are crushing the YT game my man!!! My only complaint is I wish you had more time and more scopes to review lol I don't consider a scope properly reviewed until you do it. That said, I can't wait to see you review the Maven RS.3/RS.4 I am a stranger to Joe, aside from DMing him for scope advice we've never met. I don't want people to think I am a pal of yours. Cheers buddy!!! 👍👍
You hit on a pet peeve of mine. When I see guys massaging these PRS rifles or RPRs and ask em what they think they're gonna break. Inevitably, I have had ppl tell me, well the optic. I just laugh. I can't help it. I've seen guys with NF, Leupold Mk5, S&B PMII, Trijicon ACOG, etc, etc. I ask em if theyve ever researched the story of the model they're running and most haven't. Every one of those has a lifetime no BS warranty and are military spec scopes. Now most ppl think mil-spec means lowest bidder, but it doesn't. In truth it's the bidder that MEETS the specifications of the RFP AND isn't always the lowest bidder. Often there are what we call, doesn't have, must have, nice to have, and future have. Many times bidders only meet the must have and that's enough to win the contract, but often they're not the ones that do win, because of the nice to have and future haves. The recent SOCOM Tier 1 sniper rifle ammo contract only a single bidder met the specs, and it was the most expensive bidder. My point is this, you like won't break it, and if the warranty is solid, then it won't matter if you do break it. Excellent review as always!
Joe, I really enjoy your informative videos. I feel more informed on scope purchases after watching them. Can you speak to generally how much parallax error is present in a non parallax adjustable scope, like say a 3-9x 40 leupold? I squirrel hunt with a 6-24x50 scope on a pcp air rifle. Some time, by the time I get the parallax adjusted my shot opportunity has passed. Thanks!
It's actually very little when talking about hunting . It's like MAYBE 1/2 inch . For target shooting it's too much ...For hunting I just use a fixed parallax scope
Hey, brother Rhea! Mighty fine video. I didn't know I sucked that bad at zeroing a scope until this vid. Lol. We need to leave some fake mean comments for another mean comments video. Have a good day ole buddy!
*Come on Cyclops, I figured you'd be on the MOA train since this is America, not some weenie ass country that uses the metric system! Hell I dont have the slightest idea how big my "Johnson" is in mm, cm, or mils, but I can tell you in inches, I would say feet but not here to brag, and I can tell you in MOA!! If you aren't going to review moa scopes would you at least give us the moa equivalent specs in the video or at least in the description box. Great videos btw, keep up the good work! You are my favorite optics reviewer on UA-cam, hands down. Thanks Joe*
Excellent video and surprising on the scope quality. It would be nice to see a version in 34mm tube and all that extra adjustment. I want to make a request please. My search in your videos turned up nothing. Id like to see a review of Trijicon Tenmile 4.5-30×56 if you happen across one. Have a good one, Joe.
Hallo Joe.. Thank you for your honesty in your reviews.. Since this is from Down Under.. What do you think of the new and revamped Nikko Stirling scopes?
I got mine 2 days ago...Tracks as advertised but I would say 25-27 loses clarity pretty bad and its definitely dim... My Vortex Viper 2.5-10 is WAY brighter....
Ok i bought the scope for $750 but im notising its not like my Element Titan or Helix in that the Zerothech almost tops out for 20.5 grain .22 cal slugs shooting out of a mkiii wildcat at about 70 yds. Im not sure if its because the scope is not made for airguns or because its a .1 mil Mrad reticle scope. I zeroed it at 70 yds but ill try 40 yds. Wildcat mkiii supposedly has a 20 MOA picatinny. The other option i have is adjust my eagle vision rings for long distance but i would think 20 moa is enough for 70 yds like the Element scopes are. If i have to adjust rings for long distance how many clicks should i leave for going up longer distances and how many for going down. Thanks for your help and insight on the scope!!
I just “discovered” You. I love the fact that You don’t treat these scopes with kid gloves. I’m not going to buy ANY scope without referring to You first.
This scope looks amazing, Joe! I am not sure how else to contact you but I have a question. I am working on a .300 Win Mag for elk hunting and fun target shooting. I have a SWFA SS 10x42 on order. But my question is, what if an elk pops out at 25 yards while cow calling. Will the 10 power SWFA even be able to focus at that close range? Any other viewer is welcome to comment, too. My other thought is what if a grizzly bear charges, will I be able to see that grizzly's head in the scope to get a shot off or at that point, it probably is a matter of pulling the hand cannon and shooting with that. I bought the SWFA SS 10x42 based on your reviews. I just wonder if now I should change my order to a 6x42 since I won't be a long distance sniper or competitor. It will just be for elk hunting and fun target shooting out to 600 yards, maybe 1000 for shits and giggles if given the opportunity. Sorry to hijack this scope review. I just didn't see where else to contact you. Thanks.
Have seen them in some of the gun shops here in Australia. Like many I've got a hard on for Chy-nah and wouldn't even consider one for that reason. The Japanese made Vixen scopes are making inroads Down Under and are comparable in price and appear to be pretty good.
I have a Vixen 2.5-15. Glass is great, reticle is a bit thick for me, but plenty good for hunting. I prefer my Delta titanium 2.5-15. Just a touch thinner reticle.
I agree on the vixen. Very nice on my 7RM. The fact that China will send missiles our way if we help the USA fight democracy is enough for me to not buy anything from that country.
Hey man, I have a question not related to this specific scope but, when it comes to capped turrets on scopes such as the other zero tech models is it necessary to keep the caps on the when your out hunting in the wilderness?
These scopes are Australian only in the sense the company has a postal address in Australia, the scopes are rebranded Chinese scopes and the company is a sockpuppet of Tasco. Saying this as a disappointed Aussie who did his research when looking at scopes recently.
That is simply bullshit mate they are not a postal address in Australia what total Rot the company has over 200 employees in Australia and they are designed and final assembly is in Australia they are NOT rebranded anything - who told you they Rot . Tasco is just the distributor that’s all

@@CyclopsJoeVideos Yeah but I have this new rifle in because I watched your video. I’m waiting getting impatient can you just recommend something else? A hunting/general purpose scope it doesn’t have to be illuminated I wanted to be trustworthy and durable
Nice looking scope but for 1200.00 I'd like to see it made anywhere on the planet but China..... For my $ I won't send my cash to support the CCP. NOT a dig on you as your doing a great job. For the cash there are other options made in USA, Europe and Japan.
Guys I reposted this video after it was “flagged” for some dumb Sh!t . It’s an incredible scope , and I wanted to make sure folks saw that .
How would you compare it to Element Titan
You're the best, Joe. Thanks for being here.
Outstanding quality and performance.

Your own military uses MRAD. That should tell you something.
Both are just as usable, it depends on what you're doing.
Your Johnson is roughly 20mm which is 2cm, we like to be precise down here in Australia, to the Mil.
Great glass! Nice looking optic, I imagine it will sale around 7-$800 which is a crowded market

Trijicon tenmile are badass and on sale now get one
well, scopes ARE literally made of crystal...Also, that's a neoprene cover. Bikini covers are two piece with strings between ;)
Awesome scope
Love that nipple twist test but sometimes recoil is a scopes worst enemy. A drop test from 3 or 4 feet might be a good test to add.
It would , but I don’t wanna damage scopes that way
Hallo Joe.. Thank you for your honesty in your reviews.. Since this is from Down Under.. What do you think of the new and revamped Nikko Stirling scopes?
Haven’t seen them yet
Thanks for everything you do! Awesome looking scope, seems like it's very tough. Do you test for fogging up? Stay safe and God bless
No , most any scope is gonna be fog proof nowadays
Would love to see a test on there vengeance 4-20x50 model thinking of buying one
Dam they like those rings ALOT!!!!!
Zero tech 4.5x27 or bushnell forge 4.5x27? Which ones better?

Joe..what do you use on the back of your scopes to get the footage of the reticle moving as you test this?
A camera with a special lense
How about Trybe scopes?
👍the wife said to tell the big guy 'hi' 🤔
Zit me or is the image hazy/blurry around the edges (especially the right side) as explained in the recent Vortex video?
This time it’s just the camera setup . It’s super hard to get super crisp edges sometimes. Without the camera it’s incredible
@@CyclopsJoeVideos I gotta Hawke scope does that so bad its like looking thru one them kaleidoscopes we had when we was kids. remember those?
No Illumination ?? TY
Thanks for the video. I am guessing that with 27 mags i might be able to see what i am shooting at. LOL !!
This guy is such a sales person! Ha!
Reticle moves very flat while dialing, instead of doing hops.
looks like the reticle is fine like?
Like a Delta
How does it perform in low light conditions ?
Average for its magnification and price . But super clear
