    According to American Hunter author Bryce Towsley<\/strong>, “Their new TORIC UHD 30mm 2.5-15X44 First Focal Plane MOA Hunting Rifle Scope<\/a>\u00a0is a great example of their vision. It\u2019s a hunting scope<\/a> masquerading as a long-range target scope or vice versa.<\/p>

    A good description might well be a \u201ccross-over\u201d scope that is at home in both worlds.<\/p>

    It was developed for use by today\u2019s long-range hunters and designed to be light and small enough to be at home on a rifle used for hunting<\/a>, but it\u2019s not out of place on a precision rifle either.<\/p>

    This scope provides the long-range hunter with the optimal magnification range<\/a> so that he or she can handle any shot from up close to \u201cway the hell out there.\u201d The 44mm objective size works great in low light, but isn\u2019t so giant that the shooter\u2019s cheek weld is down by his Adam\u2019s apple.<\/p>

    On most hunting rifles<\/a>, the Tract can be mounted low enough to the bore to allow the shooter\u2019s eye to be correctly positioned behind the optical center with a proper cheek weld.<\/p>

    The scope is available with adjustments and reticle points in MOA<\/a> or MRAD<\/a>. In my never humble opinion, most hunters will do best with the MOA version.<\/p>

    Both versions have the same range of adjustment; the only difference is that the MOA is \u00bc inch per click where the MRAD is .36 per click at 100 yards. MOA (minute of angle<\/a>) closely approximates inches. (It\u2019s actually 1.047 inches at 100 yards.)<\/p>

    This allows the hunter to do the math much easier, both for zeroing the scope and for figuring long-range drop. When there is a giant whitetail waiting at long range, a signal is sent to your brain that shuts it down. So, the familiar \u201cinch\u201d is much easier to remember.”<\/p>

    “I plan to use this rig for long-range target shooting and maybe to put a little venison in the freezer. I have no doubt that I have the best optic to cross over and do both.”<\/p>
