The FDE ZCO matches DT’s FDE very well.
You’ve shot this beast back in the old days, right?The chode.
Yup, it's a cannon. Really unique.You’ve shot this beast back in the old days, right?
Now that's quite an optic!SRS
With the new S&B 10-60 mounted.
HTI Next..
Absolutely love it... its a 6-36 on steroids...slightly sharper than the 6-36 with more contrastNow that's quite an optic!
How do you like it?
What reticle do you have?
Is the box mounted on the side of the scope an electronic level?
Just using a SP4602....gives me 17mil usable ( circa 1800yds depending on calibre) ....and for anything more i will just put the Prism in front ( 15mil)Might be just right for an HTI that I would like to aquire. What Spur mount do you have?
Very nice, thanks!Just using a SP4602....gives me 17mil usable ( circa 1800yds depending on calibre) ....and for anything more i will just put the Prism in front ( 15mil)
Reducing recoil can do that, it changes the muzzle position during projectile exit. Most likely shifting POI down.@wooferocau I just tested that T6 brake on my .408 barrel. It works great but it moved my POI 4” down at 100 meters. Sound normal?
4” down normal you think?Reducing recoil can do that, it changes the muzzle position during projectile exit. Most likely shifting POI down.
Depending on the shooter's form and abilities, could be. There could be mechanical issues as well. How do the group sizes compare?4” down normal you think?
Pretty much the same.Depending on the shooter's form and abilities, could be. There could be mechanical issues as well. How do the group sizes compare?
If the groups are as good or better than before, I expect you are ok and it did infact nake the difference. If they are larger than normal it may indicate an interference issue.Pretty much the same.
I cant remember if any POI changes were apparent sorry ... I wouldn't worry about it. Its a huge difference in mass hanging off the end of the barrel , so i theory it would have an effect on POI..@wooferocau I just tested that T6 brake on my .408 barrel.

Had enough of the HTI platform? or just freeing up some cashSRS
With the new S&B 10-60 mounted.
HTI Next..
Correct...I think he's putting the other 10-60x on his HTI
Nope.Question..
Has anybody using a Desert Tech "Ever" had an any optic fail that was previously OK if used on a "Conventional" rifle??
Or.... Has anybody had "ANY" optic fail when used on their Desert Tech?
Thanks..
Great...ThanksNope.
No optic failures on mine.Great...Thanks
Can you PLEASE list the optics you have used..
Sure.Great...Thanks
Can you PLEASE list the optics you have used..
That's interesting.Righto...the reason for my cryptic question...
Over the past couple of years i have had a LARGE number of optics fail when used on the Desert Tech platform .
In all the Years ( 40+) of shooting "conventional" rifles i have had one sole failure.
I was just wondering "IF" the recoil pulse was in some ways different to a conventional rifle that possibly puts more stress somehow on the optic ???
All the failures have been while using...
SRS with 338 Lap Conv
HTI with 50 Bmg Conv.
Scopes i have had fail.
2x ZCO 5-27
1x ZCO 8-40
1x March 5-50
2 x March Genesis 4-40
1 x March Genesis 6-60
1 X Leopold 3-18
2 x S&B 6-36
2 x S&B 10-60
1 x Kahles 6-24
Scopes that i have NEVER had an issue with when used with the same SRS/HTI conversions...
2 x Nightforce NSX 5.5 - 25
4 x Nightforce ATACR 7-35
3 x S&B 5-25
2 x S&B 3-27
1 x S&B 5-20 Ultrashort.
1 x Leica PRS 5-30
2 x Tangent Theta 5-25
So.......... Is it just a case of pure dumb luck on my behalf ...or maybe not ??????
Any thoughts.....
The eye piece focus for most instead of the parallax adjustment and the ZCO being the only one with the parallax issue?A good friend and fellow Desert Tech user just has his New S&B 6-36 fail on his HTI 50 BMG....... After every shot you have to re focus...
Yeah.. i have finally realised i have had a complete gut full in regards to optics..!!!The eye piece focus for most instead of the parallax adjustment and the ZCO being the only one with the parallax issue?
You've definitely had some bad luck with scopes.
