Ok here's the deal. Most people don't know about Pride and Fowler optics, well we are one of the only dealers in Texas for them and have an excellent working relationship them. I personally do field testing on prototypes for Pride and Fowler and then write up reviews on the product and what needs to be changed or kept the same. What I'm offering is similar. A two week test on a optic where you submit a small write up on what you think about the optic you tried out. Who ever tests a scope has the option to buy it at the end of the trial at dealer cost or send it back and email a digital copy of their product review. Here are the following requirements for applying for this product test: Must have at least a 1000 posts on Texas Hunting Forum, less than 1000 post members will still be considered on a case by case basis. Must be in good standing with Texas Hunting Forum Must fill out a one page application and contract for the product test. Must have a weaver/picatinny rail. Optics are already mounted on quick release mounts. Private citizens and LEO's are welcome to apply. What this test is not:A test on how durible a scope is, we already know they are durable, our US Army contracts prove that! These optics are already fielded by snipers and special forces. This is a civilian test on how the product performs for you at the range and what you think of the clarity and ergonomics of the optic itself. These optics are my personal property, so please treat them good. There are only 3 optics available in this test: RR-800-1 Riflescope: only 1 test optic available http://www.rapidreticle.com/Main/ScopeItem.aspx?ID=3&grpID=3Action-4 Quad Reticle Reflex Sight: 2 test optics available http://www.rapidreticle.com/Main/ScopeItem.aspx?ID=16&grpID=8To apply, PM me through Texas Hunting Forum. West Fork Armory will cover shipping costs both ways. First come first serve. If this test goes well, we may do another.

How many folks are you looking to test out these optics? Have an LR-308 that RR-800 would work well on.

That RR-800 reticle looks nice, I look forward to the reading the opinions of the reviewers.

If you receive an honest negative review will you post it?

If you receive an honest negative review will you post it? Yes, I will post it. But I highly doubt anyone would rate these optics as poor. Put it to you this way, since I became a dealer for Nikon, Burris, Leupold, Bushnell, Pride and Fowler and others. I still only have Pride and Fowler optics on my firearms, they are that good. Once you look through one, you see why this a step above the rest, not to mention that the P&F reticles are one of a kind and make a BDC reticle look like a joke, and they perform in all magnification settings, which is unlike BDC reticles. Which before being introduced to these optics, I was big supporter of the BDC reticles.
