ZCO doesn’t keep zero

What he said.... this isn't making any sense to me....???
Nothing makes sense. From the little bits and pieces the op is posting one can only assume that he dorked up something else on his rifle and blamed it on a faulty optic.

An open apology on this “mistake” doesn’t seem to fit his shoes either…..

It’s quite obvious that to many guys without any mechanical ability or experience in using hand tools ( and understanding of them) play gunsmith and blame manufacturers or vendors for their shortcomings.

threads like these are why ive purchased 3 "broken" scopes off people rifles and put them into play in the next match without issue lol

scope issues do happen, but there are a bunch of things that better be squared away first

one guy complained about his "broken" very popular/reliable scope for a couple months...every other scope he had worked on this rifle (allegedly, i never believed he actually tested them), but this one brand was trash...."cant hold up to magnum recoil" blah blah...took him like 3 months to figure out the scope base was loose on the action after he'd already swore he checked everything over lol
 
For your information regarding the ZCO dear, there was a malfunction in the scope which was fixed.
Faulty screws, chassis needs to be sent back later in this week.

Yep....and apparently for good reason....it doesn't make any sense and the smell of bullshit is thick in this one.

Yeah, I too am not holding my breath for any actual truth from this putz much less an acknowledgement of his error.

@gebhardt02 - tell us...did you find any fault whatsoever in this guy's scope?

Happen to buy a couple of gen 3 Vortex's recently? :unsure:

You can’t be serious, you rather have “plenty of experienced shooter’s“ diagnose your optic over the internet than working with ZCO directly?
Makes me think of McEnro every time.

Yeah this is playing out like I thought it would. This is also why many on here react the way they do when someone comes on and says something is messed up with a scope before there done their due diligence to actually know where a problem lies. As a business owner, it's an extremely serious and personal thing for there to be a public issue made about anything. Social media has made it to where any little mistake a business makes gets them shut down, so it's just best to make sure you know what you're talking about BEFORE , stating that some product is defective or some business screwed up.

Your self confidence is amusing, I guess that your tiny brain can’t fathom hardware malfunction.

Once again you refuse to address the simple facts.

First, you come on an open forum to say your new ZCO scope is broken, won’t hold zero…before even contacting ZCO. Yeah, that’s whining.

Then you say ZCO fixed your scope. Directly implying that ZCO shipped you a defective product and had to take action to fix it.

THEN, when pressed as to the nature of the fault in your ZOC scope, you say it was faulty screws and the chassis needs to be sent back???

And you’re talking about MY tiny brain? LOL

GTFO.

Apologies, faulty screws were answer to a different thread.

ZCO returned the scope, the windage turret was loose. ZCO fixed it in 2 days, was quick and great service.

The scope was remounted, ever since sub MOA

I don't have any part in the service/repair side and rarely hear back on any particular issue as to what was found, fixed, or adjusted.

Thank you. Now that makes sense.

And I do remember you breaking a screw (action screw?) on the Cadex in another thread. I’m no familiar with Cadex but I assume the action screws are captive hence needing to send it back?

I’m glad ZCO took good care of you and I hope you enjoy that great scope for many years to come.

Cheers

So you report the zero was wandering 2-3 clicks vertical and 1-2 horizontal. They fixed the windage turret according to you. So what caused the 2-3 clicks worth of error in elevation? Something doesn't add up.
The scope came with loose windage , hard to accept it’s not always the user fault I know , ZCO fixed it, .additionally return description of the fix.

All in all as I’ve mentioned before, they fix it very quickly, 2 days CA -> Idaho -> CA

You didn't answer the question but it's not surprising at this point.
