Data Provenance
Who tested: Rokslide field eval (2023-03) — read the original write-up, which is the source of record. Who structured it: Optics Intel. We extract outcomes and cite; the testing labor is theirs.
Sample size: 1 (single serial number) — evidence about this unit, not a verdict on every unit shipped.

| Tracking / RTZ | Pass | RTZ clean; later shooting showed a vertical-consistency issue |
|---|---|---|
| 18″ drops | Pass | — |
| 36″ (single) | Shift | 0.3 mil down from the top 36″ drop; follow-up shot returned to group |
| 3×36″ | Fail | 9×36″ series shifted it high-right |
| Long-term | Fail | repeated random 0.2–0.3 mil vertical shifts on two rifles while control scopes held |

Notes
Handled 18″ and most single 36″ drops per source, but failed the repeated series and shifted randomly in unabused transport use.
