Haven't had a chance to test if it holds zero, but mounts just fine and has nice clear glass. Centered vertically true to a plumb line with the crosshairs which is always a plus!It's a great ruclips.net/user/postUgkxc4K63Fd5LglDMObu7-Bgapxp_ef0W8hE scope. There's no parallax adjustment or focus ring, so may be limited to 3-7x, have to see how it is on the range. Also be aware that the rings are "look through" so you can still use irons, but they are really tall if you only intend to use the optics. On a 22LR no biggie since I'm not shooting competitions or worried about a hard cheek press. Will boresight and range test, if all goes well, I'll leave it at that!
I was with you at 6k subs and hot chicks At the end of your videos. I do miss that btw haha
Same here lol
I bought the Tract scope about 6 months ago because of Joe’s videos and emailing him and I can tell you guys it’s that good! And what a great guy to buy a scope like that from, the owner of Tract is a great guy and helped me out, I can’t say enough about his scopes.
Agree with the owner being up front and personal with the buyer.
Thing is there is two of them. Both called Jon, both friendly and helpful.
i am between the tract vs vudoo vs mk5
Just got a tract 4.5 - 30 x 56. My gawd the clarity of the glass, the ease and solid feel of the turrets and just overall quality are expected from optics costing another 1000 or more. It's that good...honest. And to get emails from the owners with a thanks and a reassurance of service after the sale....who does that. Jon and Jon at Tract Optics...thats who.
I got a Delta Stryker on your recommendation, and love it. Thanks!
Very good cyclops my Tract optics scope is killer it tracks at distance quarter size groups at 100 yards UHD glass bad ass
The glass clarity on the Delta Stryker HD 5-50×56 is exceptional. It has superior resolution to my more expensive Bushnell XRS2.
Doesnt it not have a zero stop?
You have never reviewed the Brownells MPO scopes that I am aware of. I would like to see that.
That 4.6-30X56 Tract Toric ELR is right up my alley! Only thing is, I just spent $4800 on my wife’s back surgery $7800 on a new roof and am short on funds at the moment. I would really appreciate it if you’d front me the money until I get back on my feet again dude. 😉 This is an awesome video and it sounds like you’ve done your homework on them. I have no doubt that these are top of the line in their price range. Keep sending them out and I’ll keep watching them and liking them!
Damn you Joe their goes my stock account again getting lighter it's your fault again ! Any feed back about which to choose to lighten my stock account is greatly appreciated! Loved the Video Joe !
I purchased the Stryker 5x50x56 for F Class on your recommendation and it is amazing. A range buddy got behind it because he could not spot his shots and he went crazy. He thought it was a $3,000 scope. Told him the price and he couldn't believe it. A++ scope.
I'll take the Tract...
Me to
I’ll take the Toric.
Loving the Tract UHD
I have the TRACT TORIC on my 6GT Right now and I love the glass love everything about that Scope number one in my book!!
Going to start calling you the "stimulus whisperer" as this lineup of scopes will definitely make you give it up. Seriously thank you as I am in the market for a my last good scope in this quality range as in hindsight I have bought some garbage ones over the years trying to save two nickles and its not worth it.
Then buy a Zeiss scope and you will never stop using it
BTW. Great format in putting the "specs" side by side toward the beginning and then covering the individual "features" later in the video while showing each scope. I am sure that extra touch with all the brand logo's different fonts size and making all that sh!t fit in all the neat little boxes took a sh!t load of extra time. "With all due respect" as you would put it, your "dumb ass is frickin' nailing it" at doing a better job every video. Thanks for showing us and other RUclipsrs that being yourself while working on doing the best you can on your content is what makes a great channel. Keep it up Joe! BTW I don't know crap about RUclips analytics, but don't be afraid to always toward the end ask the viewers to do all the stuff that helps your stat's. It only takes 10 seconds to ask. Use your always humble "that means so much to me and helps me out out more than you will ever know" statement. Capitalize on the fact that you are always genuine. I would say people that watch your content aren't professional viewers that know the drill, but rather normal folks like us that are just trying to pick up some knowledge about scopes. Cheers!
Yeah man ,seriously I had about 40 hours in this video . Been working on it for weeks
Champagne Dream and Caviar Wishes.........$1500 scope recommendation from a man who drink Coors Light. Guess if I drank that crap I would have the money for $1500 optic too! Great work Joe, thank you.
Joe, I have the SWFA 5-20x50mm scope. It is great. I highly recommend it. Reliable tracking, great glass, rugged construction. Money well spent.
Leica amplus 6 2.5-15x50i. It has amazing glass and a super fine illuminated dot. This thing is a beast at low light shooting, it is my new preferred scope for hunting. Again the optical quality on this thing is amazing. It is right at the $14-1500 mark.
I would love to try that one out
I got the 2.5-15-56i version. Very nice glass. Sitting on a 6.5 rpm. Looking for something with a bit more range for a 300 bee. Thinking of the shv, valdada, conquest v4. ECT. Just looked through a Swarovski 4-12 don't think it's got anything on the Leica
Great Vids Joe! Continuing to love and support your work here.
Please review the Swampfox Arrowhead 1-10x. It seems too good to be true?
I'm really interested in how well the turrets perform
I hate picking scopes it really sucks.. the tradeoffs are too extreme. I feel like leupold would be a no brainer if theyd offer a decent reticle that illuminated for under 2k
The Delta has great glass, Tract also, Vortex is way way way way behind on glass the more power the worse vortick gets
It's really too bad the Sig Tango 6 was left off the list. I love that scope! But if these 7, I'm all about that tract Turkic super impressed with all I've seen from it
Great video buddy, I've been thinking about the Nexus
I've been using a Trijicon AccuPoint for over 3 years now and I'll swear by it. @ $1623.95 (on sale), I'd stack it against my $2400-ish NightForce anyday. It's almost blasphemy (to me anyways) that it didn't make the list...
Yeah I wanted to try out the new ten mile scopes …but couldn’t get my hands on one
It's a $1,500 scope. It better be pretty damn good!
Toric 4.5-30X56 END OF STORY
How is trijicon accupoint TR23 not on this list🤷♂️
Thank you, please add an Arabic translation
Bought a SWFA 5 x 20 x 50 illuminated a couple years ago on their Black Friday sale for $999. A real deal! Pity on anyone who is tried to buy one lately. They are on perpetual backorder.
Yeah thanks for the great comment
How do you feel about the leupold mark4 4.5-14x50mm er/t m5? Its a old design but I have had it for years and love it. I have it on my bergara b14 wilderness hmr 6.5 creedmoor and go from 10 to 1000yards no problems.
It's one of the VERY BEST buys in optics period !!!!!
Haven't pulled the trigger yet but I'm still planning on getting the Tract. I'm planning on doing my 1st gun build using Defiance action and Bartlein prefit barrel and need a compatible scope. I just believe if I'm going to shell out big money on a gun I should at least get comparable optics. Thanks for the great videos Joe!
The tract rocks
I've heard that the first elements were the shit, but now not so much. Have a chance to buy a brand new titan for 700 out door new old stock 2021 ,ish. Or a nexus for1200.
The Nexus is EXCELLENT in every way
Why not review the best of the best no price cap
Hi Joe. How about the Meopta Optika 6 5-30x56 with the M-RAD ED reticle?.
That’s a REALLY NICE SCOPE
Nice!!!
my pics are somewhat the same..
1... Athlon Cronos BTR 4.5-29x56.. Warrantee is better.. As a competition shooter this is a factor to consider.
2... Tract Toric 4.5-30x56
2.5..Vortex Razor Gen2 4.5-27x56
3... Athlon Aries ETR 4.5-30x56 (Hard to beat for the money!!!)
4... Element Nexus 5-20x56.. (only reason for it to rate lower than the Aries is the mag range, tube size and over all elevation)
Thanks for the comparison.... have a good on buddy...
Agree with your choices? Hell, you far exceeded my choices. But I am a Tract Toric ELR guy now. That shit was love at first sight! I just don't have a single thing to bitch about with this one. I finally got mine and beat the hell out of it with a 28 Nosler last weekend and believe me it took an ugly stick beating. It laughed at that damn recoil. For $1,500 that's my favorite scope.
Always enjoy your videos Joe, keep up the good work!
You really should have had the IOR or Valdada 2-16*42 ffp with locking turret and zero stop, 7 metre focus, unbelievable field of view and adjustment range. Still some great selections there, delta's are amazing for the money and the better bushnell is a great scope too.
Thank you, that sounds like a very interesting scope. 42 is much friendlier to a gun you are going to walk with than 56.
You may have bought your a while ago, now they are around $2600.
OK coming from a newbie-ish shooter - If I were to spend $1500 dollars on a scope I'd expect it to be AMAZING !! How can there be a crappy $1500 scope ? I'd be PISSED !!!! My $400 Hawke Airmax 30 is incredible.
So i bought an Arken SH4 5-25 x50 just to see if I was going to get addicted to long range. Its great to me to 800 yards but then it falls off (or i do). Im looking for the next step up. Thanks for your help here.
I don't know that much about scopes I'm looking at night force and Leupold HD5 scopes I feel if I spend more money I'll be safe and I won't regret it... I'm looking at $3000 scopes If I buy one I can move it from 1 rifle to another
If mr Joe says its BADASSE IT IS ? , i cant really comment anymore than that im Airgunner with 1 blind eye , so $1500. isnt really in my league, but i believe the Cyclops Mr Joe, cute nice concise list , execellent video , superb details i just need to win the uk lotto to think about 1,
Curius with all the options, why someone would get a fixed power scope
Lighter weight and clear pockets
Listen to this guy will ever tell you it tell you honestly Anything can tell you It's only the truth with this guy you don't make mistake when your purchase is scope When I was listening to him About the valdada recongitu scope The next day I bought it You are the best You are the best
Valdada fixed should be here tomorrow. Going on top of the new 6mmARC poverty pony - bet I can get 1k with it now! love your vids - please keep cussing in your videos, it makes me laugh!
I went fixed to put the money on the glass and base functionality. If I had gone variable, I would have Review-Researched myself to death as there are tons of options.
Did anyone notice the HUGE spider walking on the grass??? :/ bottom right side... right in the beginning of the video????
hey Joe are any of these "springer" rated? Air Arms tx200hc
Not that I m ow of
Well I have purchased new Valdata ranger 3-25.50 40mm
But valdada is nothing better then Schmidt and Bender
Please review s&b nf kahles high end scopes
What do you think about the primary arms glx 4.5-27×56 athena bpr mil... i have it, loke the riticle, dunno about the rest. Doesnt have alot of travel, glass ok, kinda heavy, pretty good turrets, crap eye box, decent illumination, i just dont know
Its on a sig cross 6.5 cm
I haven’t tried that one sorry
What about the GPO spectra 6-8? Great scope that’s slept on by a lot of people.
EXCELLENT SCOPE
Wow, huge spider in background. Lower right at 10 seconds :10 to :24
crimson trace series 5 ......3x24x56 with 34mm tube
Hey Joe, I know its all a coin toss here, and I appreciate you mentioning reticle preference as a deciding factor. I would like to add another scope you have reviewed the Maven 4.5-30x56, which I think I might prefer. Having not looked thru the Delta, Tract or Maven I am not sure the one to pick. I am currently using the Arken ep-5 and the Midas Tac 5-25 on my rimfire rifles
Haven’t tried the Maben
The Maven rs-4 has very slightly sharper glass but not quite as good of color rendition as the Toric. Can't go wrong with either, I have the Toric and my brother has the Maven.
@@stevemott7052 thanks Steve
Nice if you commented on glass quality
Good point
I bought the Delta Stryker 4.5 - 30 and a fair bit of that decision was based on the Cyclops review - Thanks for all that you do!
Do you like it?
@@w1.0 Just mounting it for the first time right now - glass is crystal clear!
@@benb1355 ok Ben , it's been a year , what's the consensus on the Delta? I just bought their Stryker 1-6.
@@m07c Still got it, still use it in NRL22 comps and on longer range rifles. For the money you just cant go past it I think. Last shoot was Rimfire to 400yds and it was easy to see and read the mirage through the glass. Hope that helps
@@benb1355 awesome to hear. This of the tract in my future
I have the Riton (Mod 7) 4-32x56 (brass internals) which is the predecessor of the Riton (X7) 4-32x56. The included throw lever should have been a screw on/screw in "fin" rather than a vertical "post" because I can't get the full magnification range on my scope when throw lever is installed due to bolt clearance/interference on my bolt action chassis setup. I lose either the very top or very bottom of the magnification range. Other than that, I really like it. I haven't had a need to go beyond 28X magnification (amazing at 28X and below). It has really good clarity up to 32X for the price range. Locking Turrets are the only other thing it lacks from my wish list. The Riton Optics (X7) 3-24x56 with the chevron tip reticle may be a more preferable experience.
The Tract Toric 4.5-30x56 has everything I've ever wanted in a FFP scope & I prefer it's reticles and warranty over the Delta Stryker, however the Delta Javelin 4.5-30x56 SMR-1 could possibly be my next FFP scope (Made in China like almost everything else I own).
The Trijicon 5-50x56 MRAD Tenmile/Accupower will likely be the most expensive (ELR; SFP scope) I'll purchase because I prefer the Trijicon MRAD Reticle, however the Delta Stryker HD 5-50x56 with DLS-1 reticle will likely be a better buy, especially if they are close in price and availability. Trijicon has the lifetime warranty vs. 10 year warranty.
I want. But no money
I very sad.
That sux
The vortex razor has 28.5 of elevation. Not sure where u got your info but it's wrong.
Joe the Steiner t5xi 3-15x50 can be found for around $1,500-$1,650 and there 5-25x56 can be found for $1,813 and that's what I paid for it but I also have the tract toric and it's my favorite
Damn it Joe....now I have to win Lotto or dance for old women to get one of those. Well...time to see if those speedo I wore in College still fit...over my new gut 💩. 😅. Great video
I have two of the tracts they are incredible and I have much more expensive Scopes that I will probably never buy again not that they're bad to track is as good if not better and way cheaper
how about testing the burris eleminator 4 for glass quality and accuracy for us that just want a hunting scope without turrents, and shoot long range
What about Maven?
I bought an athlon ares etr 3-18x50 for $1000. I personally would regard it as the crest of diminishing returns. Not that the razor doesn't have superior glass and turrets. Just that if I had the money for a razor I'd buy two more etr's, scope rings and flip up lens caps for them.
I'm not a Vortex hater, in fact I like Vortex scopes as much as the CV life scopes.
Honest to God!
Hello dear, what an economic look I can get it to be precise in the clicks and it serves me for hunting and long distance shooting
I'll talk about the length and width
Then we'll talk about the scope🤣
You hit the nail on the head with this one brother I wish I could own all of them!!! I have 2 of the Sig Tango 6's, 2 of their Tango 4's, and 1 of the Whiskey 3 optics but the 6's are my favorite and are phenomenal. Optics are about the only thing I like that Sig makes I have 7 of the Romeo 5/5XBR red dots also (which I'm pretty sure are made by Holosun and just Sig branded) Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!
Thanks Joe my friends and I are really enjoying Eotech right now.
Hey Joe,we would like to see your cyclops one day
lol, crazy ass
What? no UTG scope with pink illumination on this list? :-D
I LOVE my tract ELR, it’s what I compare others against because it’s the best scope I’ve used. But I’d trust any of Joe’s recommendations! Great easy to understand video Joe!
Thanks Buddy
I can’t understand how the Athlon ETR UDH 4.5-30x56, did not even make the list when many other reviewers, who did not get one from Tract, preferred it over the Tract and Vortex
I haven’t had the chance to test that scope is the only reason . I don’t like just pulling info out of thin air
Nailed it with the Tract. I believe
It’s the only one with German, Schott glass. It doesn’t get any better. Great spotting scopes too. Can’t wait to received my Tract 12.5 x 50 binoculars in July. They have been sold out for months. Get them while you can. They are the best.
I would I would still stay with my arken ep 5
Great video.Nothing but the facts ma'am. The only one on the subject needed.
VORTEX!?!?!? DAMMIT JOE ITS BLASPHEMY!!!
Maybe you don’t hate them Joe but I sure as hell do! I’ve got 3 of them and they’re all a pain in the ass!
Yeah the Razor is the only one I trust
The Vortex has 28.5 mils of total vertical travel.
I cant deside Delta or TRACT. Do TRACT ship to Sweden?
Is the tract more robust?
It’s seriously a tie man
The more badass search for baderasser reinforcement words is on!
Hi Joe, on the Valdada/ IOR line there is a scope that nobody refers to, the Patriot 9-36x56, any reason why? I see Recon's, Spiders and this tactical line reviews and feedback but not that specific one.
Sorry I’ve never tested it
Great video, not that I’ll ever own one. But had to watch the video anyways, lol
Was or were any of the Riton scopes considered?
Why don't you look at Zeiss and other quality brands.. For 1500$ you will get a real good Zeiss optic
I would but I can't afford to buy scopes like that and turn around and resell them and take such a huge loss. Hopefully one day my channel will catch his asses attention and they'll send me some scopes to test
Got me with Tract. Leaning towards the 34 mm tube.. I really appreciate your videos. Thank you.
Glad to help
Elcan Specter 4x, I'm enjoying mine a lot.
Put one of these on my red Ryder bb killer 🤒
I'm a Tract loyalist now too....
Tract Kicks Ass
Hi Joe, great video as always, I have the Element Optice Nexus & it rocks, not let me down yet, the Valdada looks awesome not sure we can get these in the UK, keep up the great reviews, the UK loves you man
Was or were any of the Riton scopes considered
$1500.00 for a rifle scope? You can buy a car for $1400.00 and have a hundred bucks left over for gas. 😆
I've bought a car like that and I spent the double to make it run.... I sold it to be scraped, the scope is still here.....
Did anyone not see that big fucking spider on the right side?
Lol
@@CyclopsJoeVideos and thanks Joe, I bought the Tract Toric! Wish I would’ve bought the Arken before I purchased the Strike Eagle, because the glass to me is superior over the Strike Eagle!
Love you videos. Even if it's a scope I don't think I would ever own it's good to have the information available cause you never know where life will take you.
A+++++++
its so hard to get the guys around here to buy a 400 buck rifle and tell them to spend atleast 2 times as much for the scope than you did on the rifle and next time you see them they have a 3x9 simmons tasco or center point from walmart on it i almost throw up when i see the junk they try to hunt with and cant understand why when there is 15 minutes of light left they say wonder why i cant see through my scope and i stay in the stand for the full legal shooting time here its 1 hour after legal sunset and they come out about 10 mins after legal sunset
I have the same problem with my friends when it comes to scopes.I tell everybody to spend at least the same on a scope as you did on your rifle otherwise you won't be happy with the end result.When you go to the rifle range and have to fiddle with your scope each time,you probably bought a cheap scope.I've seen people drop 800 on a gun and put a $150 scope on it and I just laugh at them and tell them to save up for a real scope and give the other to one of their kids.
Joe, you hit it out of the park with this one. I'm in pig heaven here - so many specs I had to put my sh*t kickers on. But you didn't get into glass (okay you mentioned "European" for the Valdata). I think all of them except the Tract and Valdatas have Japanese glass - nothing wrong with it but the German glass is always touted as best. Meopta, Rudolph, Maven, Steiner, Zeiss aren't on the list, but those are more hunting scopes, not tactical. Leica is coming out with a new Amplus in this price range in August but again, classified as hunting.
Only the new Valdada 4.8-30x56 40mm tubed G2 scope contains Japanese glass. The only Japanese lens in the scope that is Japanese is the 56mm objective lens. It is the highest grade of Japanese Low Dispersion glass. All of the other lenses in the scope are from German Schott Glasswerke. As far as the other Valdada scope - they use German Schott glass no matter where they are manufactured (Instrument Optics Romania mostly).
The Tract Toric is an awsome scope. I had one on my hunting rifle, but I hunt in heavy cover and a SFP scope works better with my eyes. I sold it to a long range shooter and bought 2 Bushnell Forge scopes. Saving money for a Valdada 3-18 right now. Save your money; take Joe's advice and buy quality optics. You will not regret it. The bushnell forge is so good I never take it off 3 power out to 100- 125 yards while hunting.
Thanks for the comment Buddy
Awesome video... surprise that mark 4 or 5 didn’t make the list ... being told by some mark series are over price ?
They are nice . But very much over priced
Golden info 👍👍 thanks
So nice of you
