Axeon Second Zero - (budget TARAC?)

Second Zero | New Bullet Drop Compensator System | Axeon Optics

The Second Zero is the fastest bullet drop compensator system. It shifts a target image by the same amount a bullet drops giving you an additional zero distance.

Looks like a budget Tarac

"Invented by John Baker of TACOMHQ, the patented Second Zero®, is a prism driven optical device configured to bend light at a precise minute of angle to achieve an additional zero (second zero) downrange."

Anyone play with one of these yet? Not sure how precise it is, but might be fun to put on a 22 to shoot ELR.

11ish extra moa isn’t a lot.

Agreed, this isn't going to be of much utility on a higher end optic with target turrets and good tracking. They do mention custom offset models, but the prices mentioned make it seem to be less than worth it for most uses.

It is perfect for extending a 50/200 zero out to close to 500 on a carbine. That is what it is for.

Yea but for ELR or 22lr ELR it falls quite a bit short.

Sure, but it is basically a budget Alpha Tarac, not for ELR. It is useful for what it is. I have an Alpha. It works really well.

Never said it wasn’t useful.
I love my Charlie macro

Seems like an odd idea, can't see why you would use this in the advertised purpose other than if using a Fudd scope.

11moa extra extends the max range of my 22lr from 400m to 430m, so not particularly useful.
But I see they advertise you can get one made with a custom elevation change, if they could do 50moa+ then that'd be pretty nifty for around $60-$70.

Yep, just pulled out my ballistic calculator and saw the same thing. Only 30 yards or so. Dam those 22s fall quickly at distance. Guess I need to start saving up for for a Charlie.

Hi,

Looks like they are just trying to make a prism cheaper than the NF Prism.

The Alpha Tarac is already cheaper than the NF prism, and neither this nor the Alpha Tarac are in competition with the NF. So it doesn't look like that at all.

Too bad the custom units start at $360.

Ooof

Why hold over 1.2mils when you could just buy a device that'll do it for you?

I see T-Rex has one, it must be good then.
