Zeiss LRP S5 3-18x50
Who tested: Rokslide field eval (2022-09) — 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, run in two ring setups) — evidence about this unit, not a verdict on every unit shipped.
Stage-by-stage record
| Tracking / RTZ | Fail | adjustment-value errors during zeroing in both ring setups; erratic impact jumps |
|---|---|---|
| 18″ drops | Pass | redo run: 18″ went OK |
| 36″ (single) | Fail | 0.4 mil from the first left 36″ (redo); run-1 shifts clear; final redo drop reported photo-only |
| 3×36″ | Fail | run 1: off the paper — measured 8.5 mil (30.6″) shift |
| Long-term | Fail | lost up to 1 mil over two months riding in a padded seat; re-zeroed multiple times |
Mount setup
Rings/mount: Zeiss rings (run 1, later deemed suspect); solid rings for the redo. Ring torque: not stated in source. Torque caveat: the source flags mount-torque questions for this eval — weigh the results accordingly.
Notes
Run-1 rings deemed suspect and the eval redone in solid rings; the thread ends mid-redo with the final drop outcome shown only in photos.
