Gentleman im sure you all remember my first review on a wotac.(jesus what a flop that was)Im going to try again on the newest lot from matt wonders..First off Matt is a great person to deal with he stands behind his product 100%.Any kind of flaw you find in his scope will be dealt with in a timely and very professional manner.
Now i know this is not a nf.or a uso,leupy,primere,etc.But for what it is it seems like a very good scope for the price.
I talked to matt in great detail about his line of optics.He deffiantly knows his shit.
Here we go.Remeber i am not connected with wonder optics any way shape or form.This will be a unbiased review to the best of my abilities.
The scope arrived to me in a plain black box marked 4.5-14x50 on one end.Opening the box revealed a large 30mm tactical turreted variable scope.I had a gen 2 wotac and these two scopes do not compare except for the glass both scopes glass is top notch imo.The only other scope i have to compare the glass to is my nf-f1.the nf has superb glass and is a top shelf scope.To my 42 year old eyes the wotacs glass compares very favorably being just as clear.The contrast and color defination arent as good but this is a 330$ scope compared to a 2300$ scope.
Functionability
Function on the wotac so far is superb.I took this scope out yesterday and zeroed it on a savage that i know is a very good shooter with 168 gmm.I wont bore you with group sizes or it can out shoot me.Personally i have never seen a rifle shoot by itself anyway.lol.Anyway back to the scope.I began shooting at 100yrds after the rifle was sighted in.(5 shot groups LL)
Everything.was boringly on par with any other descent scope.So i moved on to 200.I clicked in the ele. which i know isnt much.but i just wanted to test on out as far as my range is capable of(only 300 yrds)200yrd clicks were spot on.next i moved on to 300 I put in 14 more clicks of ele.Again spot on.
I had a very limited amount of ammo so i came back down to 100 stopping at 200 to check for repeatability,spot on.And last back to zero.Again spot on.
Next with the ammo i had left i thought i would do a 20"inch box test at 100yrds.I got everthing set up and did my clicking and shooting everything passed with spot on flying colors.
scope aestetics.
The wotac is a nice looking scopes with a rich even matte finish.the sun shade that comes with it has the same finish and matches perfectly.
The turrets have a very nice click to them with no mushiness and no play in between clicks.I wish they had more of a tactile feel to them.There is some but with heavy gloves on imo you wouldnt feel them.
The parralex adjustment works as it should and has been changed a little.It is more on line with the falcon parralex meaning instead of numbers it has a ever enlarging line untill infinity which has the infinity mark.All the knobs have just enough stifness to them to keep from accidently being turned.
rectile..
I personally like the rectile on this scope.It is called the epb rectile.The way it is set up is a cross hair with hash marks seperated every two moa all the way to twenty moa.With every ten moa haveing a longer hash mark.
One of the things i like the most is the ability to use this scope in moa or mil.This is done simply by having a arrow set up on the tube pointing at the power ring.T power ring is set up with a square box right at 9 that hase moa in it.the next box is right in front of the ten on the power ring with mil in it.All you have to do is line up your preferred way to use it and volia your good to go either way.
Gripes
I only really have one.That being the screws to reset the turrets back to zero.They are very little and are made out of very soft aluminum.After i reset the knobs back to zero.I immeaditally stripped one retightning the screws.Luckily matt has the forsight to put extra set screws in with the scope.
Would i buy another one?Yes.would i reccomend this scope to someone looking for a econimacol scope that performs as it should and for the price seems to be very well made?Yes i would
Sorry this review didnt cover all bases.But i was low on ammo and it was threating rain any minute.......I hope maybe this small review will awnser a few questions anyone has.If you have any more ? about the scope that i havent covered pm me and i will try to awnser them
