Zeiss LRP S5 3-18x50

Data Provenance

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 / RTZFailadjustment-value errors during zeroing in both ring setups; erratic impact jumps
18″ dropsPassredo run: 18″ went OK
36″ (single)Fail0.4 mil from the first left 36″ (redo); run-1 shifts clear; final redo drop reported photo-only
3×36″Failrun 1: off the paper — measured 8.5 mil (30.6″) shift
Long-termFaillost 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.
