TORIC 34mm Box to Bench Tracking Test

One of the most frequent questions we receive at Tract Optics is this: “Do your scopes actually track?” And the short answer is—absolutely. But as shooters, we know you need more than just our word—you need proof. That’s why we created this detailed Box to Bench Tracking Test featuring the TORIC 34mm 4.5-30×56 riflescope. In this video, we walk you through each adjustment and show exactly how this scope performs under a precise test environment based on Milliradian (MRAD) measurements.

Whether you’re a precision shooter, long-range enthusiast, or tactical marksman, this video is for you.


Scope Overview – Meet the TORIC 34mm 4.5-30×56

Before diving into the tracking test, let’s introduce the star of the show: the TORIC 34mm 4.5-30×56 MRAD riflescope.

This scope is engineered for long-range shooters who demand absolute precision and repeatability. With a 34mm main tube, advanced MRAD reticle, and ED glass, it provides exceptional clarity, consistent turret performance, and edge-to-edge brightness. The model in this test is calibrated in Milliradians, ideal for shooters who rely on metric-based adjustments and ballistic systems.

Key Features:

  • 34mm main tube for extended adjustment range

  • Zero stop elevation turret with audible, tactile clicks

  • Locking windage turret

  • Side parallax adjustment for fine-tuned focus

  • Advanced Ultra HD optical system with ED lens elements


Test Setup – Real-World Box-to-Bench Conditions

To put the TORIC 34mm to the test, we set up a Box to Bench Tracking Target at range. This is a proven method to evaluate how precisely a scope moves the reticle in response to turret adjustments.

The process was simple, but strict:

  1. Zero the scope – Confirmed with a round at the bottom bullseye of the target.

  2. Dial up 5 MRAD – Fire a shot.

  3. Dial up to 10 MRAD – Fire another shot at the top of the target.

  4. Return to Zero – Fire a final shot to verify perfect return-to-zero tracking.

This setup ensures we are testing the vertical tracking consistency of the scope in both upward and downward turret movements.


 The Results – Scope Tracking Precision Confirmed

Let’s walk through what the test revealed:

  • The initial zero shot hit dead center on the bottom target, as expected.

  • The second shot, with +5 MRAD elevation dialed, landed precisely where it should, in line with the target’s MRAD markings.

  • The third shot at +10 MRAD elevation was also on target—no deviation, no drift.

  • After dialing back to zero, the final shot landed touching the first.

This tight grouping and consistency is a clear indicator that the TORIC 34mm tracks perfectly in both directions.

Even more impressive, the gun itself shoots approximately ½ MOA (Minute of Angle), and all shots in this test remained well within that parameter, confirming that any movement was purely from the turret adjustments—not shooter error or external deviation.


Why This Matters for Shooters

A scope that doesn’t track accurately can ruin your shot, especially at long range where small adjustments make huge differences. If you’re adjusting for windage or elevation and your scope doesn’t move exactly as it should, then your calculations become unreliable—and so does your shooting.

Here’s why our TORIC scopes stand out:

  • Repeatability – What you dial is what you get. Period.

  • Return to Zero – When you go back to your original zero, it will be there—no guessing, no need to re-zero.

  • Built for Real Shooters – Whether you’re on the bench or on the hunt, you need your equipment to perform flawlessly under pressure.

This isn’t just lab testing—it’s field proof, and it’s what sets Tract Optics apart from the rest.


Behind the Design – How We Ensure Tracking Accuracy

At Tract Optics, we take engineering seriously. Every TORIC 34mm scope goes through rigorous quality control and turret calibration during the manufacturing process. We use CNC-machined internals and test turret click values under both mechanical and live-fire conditions to confirm accuracy.

What makes our scopes different?

  • Precision-machined erector systems

  • Aircraft-grade aluminum body for durability

  • Mechanically locked turrets to avoid unintentional changes

  • Optical alignment inspection on every unit

We build these scopes to perform, period.


Practical Applications – Who This Scope Is For | TORIC 34mm

If you’re into:

  • Long-range target shooting

  • PRC or NRL-style competitions

  • Backcountry or mountain hunting

  • Law enforcement or tactical applications

… then the TORIC 34mm 4.5-30×56 MRAD is a no-compromise tool in your gear setup.

The accurate tracking showcased in this test proves that this scope will match your precision requirements and stay consistent no matter what conditions you’re shooting in.

See It to Believe It – Close-Up Target Analysis | TORIC 34mm

At the end of the test, we walked downrange and took a closer look at the target. Here’s what we observed:

  • The initial shot, the +5 MRAD shot, and the +10 MRAD shot formed a tight vertical line—exactly what you’d expect from perfect elevation tracking.

  • The final shot, back at zero, touched the original zero round, showing zero shift or deviation from the starting point.

That’s the kind of repeatable accuracy that gives shooters confidence—on the bench or in the field.


Final Verdict – The TORIC 34mm Delivers | TORIC 34mm

There’s no fluff here—just a clear, concise demonstration that the TORIC 34mm 4.5-30×56 scope performs with mechanical precision. If you’re serious about your shooting and want a scope that tracks as perfectly in the field as it does on paper, this is the optic for you.

You don’t have to take our word for it—watch the video, review the shot placement, and see the difference for yourself. Then take that confidence with you—to the range, the match, or the hunt.

FAQ | TORIC 34mm

1. What is a Box to Bench Tracking Test?
It’s a test used to verify whether a riflescope’s turrets adjust the reticle accurately as dialed. By shooting at different points on a target after turret adjustments, you can see if the scope tracks correctly and returns to zero.

2. Why is Milliradian (MRAD) important?
MRAD is a metric-based measurement system commonly used in tactical and precision shooting. It allows for more granular adjustments and is preferred by many long-range shooters for its compatibility with ballistic calculators.

3. Can this test be replicated with any rifle?
Yes, as long as your rifle is properly zeroed and consistent, you can replicate a similar tracking test to evaluate your scope’s performance.

4. Does Tract Optics test every scope before it ships?
While we don’t live-fire test each scope, every unit undergoes mechanical quality assurance and turret calibration to ensure perfect tracking before leaving our facility.

5. How does the TORIC 34mm compare to other high-end scopes?
The TORIC 34mm competes with optics two to three times the price by offering elite-level tracking, optical clarity, and rugged build—all backed by our lifetime warranty and direct-to-consumer pricing.
