The New Tangent Theta 5-25x56

They are indeed probably among the three best scopes made on the planet today but the older I get the more I'm convinced that where you reach a certain price point on glass which is around 2,000-2,500.00 in today's dollars you're probably at the line of practicality.

No matter how much more you spend you're probably never really going to appreciate how much, "better" a 3,000.00-6,000.00 scope actually is because there's so little difference.

It's like when we try maximizing velocity for a given round, you reach a point where it takes a rather huge increase in powder to achieve just 200-400fps in velocity and that always comes at a higher cost in wear and tear on components, rifles, even glass.

Would I buy one if I had unlimited money? Maybe, or I might just go buy two VX6's and top off a second rig with top quality glass.

They sure look cool though!
Its called the point of diminishing returns.

The curve humps over and changes slope to less and less improvement per unit of input or investment.

You described it every which way but loose......but I just had to pitch in and help you......🙂
 
Never owned one but make a point to check them out and have looked through some. Amazing for sure but I didn't see that much improvement over more moderately priced scopes like the high end Leupold and Swaro's or NF's.
I'm with you on this. But could be my eyes! I never did see the improvements enough to notice between a regular CD movie vs Blu-ray vs HD either... 🤔. To each their own!
 
Have ANY of you detractors owned a Tangent Theta?

Boy I sure am thankful of the treatment I'm getting as a sponsor of this site. Can't even promo a new product without people jumping in and telling everyone what they don't need.

You fellas keep up the good work of ripping people down. God Bless You.

Perhaps you could outline (in detail) its advantages over the many cheaper options models? That way we could make an informed decision on whether it's worth it (to us)? As a salaried employee with children to feed and educate, a mortgage, etc, I have to spend wisely and maximize the value for every dollar spent.
 
C'mon people, the scope looks amazing, the specs equally so. Price? What price are you willing to pay to see better, more light at dusk and dawn, preision optics that show every detail even at max magnification. Argue about qualities and swallow price issues. Performance is worth the price. I'm not wealthy (or even "comfortable") but when I look at what I've invested over the years in guns and equipment for hunting, I could have bought more than a couple of these scopes and still have plenty of "stuff".

It holds zero. It tracks perfectly. It has the easiest to use tool-less rezeroing feature of any scope in existence. It has the most refined turrets and clicks on the market. It has the highest resolution of any optic I've used outside of a Hensoldt and Vectronix LRF.

It is simply optically and mechanically better than anything else I've used, and I've used virtually everything noteworthy in the high end rifle scope space.
 
Would you consider this scope suitable for hunting scenarios or is it primarily a competition suited target scope? I am sure it is probably one of the best from what I have read, but just can't imagine lugging this around in the woods or the mountains.

You posted this in a discussion thread so expect discussion.

If you want advertising where nobody can comment then I think Len still has Banners and other types of advertising available.

You are selling scopes that are at the very top end of price points for the entire industry, they are very well made quality scopes but they aren't for everyone.

Nobody has been rude to you, nor disparaged your product we've simply spoken our minds.

It's a discussion thread, we're going to discuss.

I've killed countless animals with Tangent Theta's since 2014.

I dont own, but have looked through a few a fair amount at prs matches. I did say they're arguably the best scope out there on the market. But 5k dollars is a TOUGH pill to swallow. You can build a rifle and put 2k dollar glass on it for that price.
