As crisp at 18 as it is at 3, R3 Trace provides all the info you need without getting in the way.
Won’t be losing any more caps with these pop up turrets.
Tripped up on a hunt and landed equal parts on my 308 and scope, still holding zero.

Ive had
One of these for about 2 years now and i rate it as good as if not better than my vx5hd. I have been so happy with its tracking, clarity at distances to 800m and its low light capacity to see deer. I would recommend this scope to any long range hunter world wide. Goes great with my t3 300wm and a 20 moa rail. Thanks team ZT.

The zero tech trace 3-18Γ50 with the r3 reticle is buy far the best bang for buck in its class tracks 100% both on elevation and windage glass quality is on point fit and finish is top quality also. Zero stop is a must have in my opinion these days and the zero stop in this scope is easy to set and rock solid and also the locking turrets are a great feature. Magnification ring and parallax ring are smooth as butter. And last but not least the alloy flip up caps are a sweet touch if I had to say one criticism it would be the windage turret I would like to see the numbers go left and right and not 1 through 19 cheers for the great optics

I love my zerotech trace 3-18/50. It has served me well both at the gun range and hunting long range sambar at 750m.
The clarity compares to my VX5 with mire zoom so im a happy camper.
Id recommend this scope to anyone wanting to hunt short and long range with great optics.

Love this scope! Have it on a tikka t3x veil. Have had it in some pretty ordinary conditions including snow and hail whilst in the high country looking for sambar. No problems with the scope fogging up! The zerostop is easy to setup and works well. The clicks on the turrets are nice and very positive. I personally really like the r3 retical it’s a nice fine centre dot. Highly recommend!

Being relatively new to shooting I was after a cost effective scope with the features of some bigger brands and settled on the Trace 3-18 x50.
Initial reaction was very impressed by the attention to detail, in the packaging and also the optic itself.
A good friend who is well respected in the deer hunting scene asked to look through it and his reaction was enough for me. For someone who uses scopes worth 4x at least as much to be impressed by the clarity, build quality and reticle was proof enough I’d made the right choice.

I’ve owned the trace HD 3-18×50 with the r3 reticle for a few months now and have also take a number of game with it. The glass clarity is second to none the turrets tracking is superb I have shot it out to 1000m numerous times and it always returns the zero. I highly recommend this product and everyone should own one

The trace HD 3-18x50is an overall great scope optically and functionaly the extras you get in the box to are awesome as well the only grip I have is the Windage turretit should be numberd 1left then 1 right not from 1-19 right around but hay can’t complain too much for the money honestly you can’t buy better especially cause it’s Ozzie love the work keep it up
