Rifle Scopes Official Zero Compromise Optic News & Updates

[Cardboard Assassin]

Yeah that's water in your scope from bad grease or something coming unsealed.

I wont rule it out but I would be very surprised. This happened on a 100 degree day with zero water around.

The scope was fine at the start of the session (put 100 rounds down the pipe of my new 223) and by the end whatever this is had happened.

 

[Cardboard Assassin]

Just curious, for those of you who claim problems with your ZCO scope, how many are using Spuhr mounts?
How many with scope problems are using other mounts and who makes them?

Mine is in rings, pretty sure they are ARC rings.

It doesn't need to be around water for this to happen, it happened to my PMII (not that bad it was just one little speck) and they said it was bad grease, or water from bad grease leaking.

No issues with Spuhr 6001 or 6601. Both tightened to 20 in lbs.

 

[Ubaderb]

One of my ZC527 scope were in Austrian factory in reticle change.
MPCT3 reticle off and MPCT3X in.
My son told me, that it is better to shoot with this reticle, because the open are on top of the eye sight.
375-meters tripod, all in the target.

Wait. I can send one in for a reticle change?

 

[seansmd]

Yes

 

[Ubaderb]

Yes

What’s that cost?

 

[Baron23]

My two have needed adjustment out of the box, prior to mounting. No parallax binding or lens issues though, just turrets.

What kind of adjustment on turrets?

 

[TheOE800]

What kind of adjustment on turrets?

Can’t say what ZCO did to the first, but the second required full replacement of the turret assembly.

 

[seansmd]

What’s that cost?

Don't know need to contact them, I had some other stuff being done.

 

[viking78]

Yes
But it aint free.

 

[viking78]

Tenebraex make´s also nice caps for the ZCO.

 

[deersniper]

Aadland is more better

 

[jbonnie]

F3R Machine 36mm cantilevered mount with 20 MOA of tilt….. holy grail

 

[Jcaplinger199]

Anyone running a 420 with ARC low rings (.94)? I have a bighorn origin action with 20moa factory rail and a proof steel savage small shank barrel. Based on my calculations it should clear by 4.5mm without caps

 

[Jcaplinger199]

Also for those using ARC rings are you torquing to the recommend 55in/lbs

 

[Baron23]

Also for those using ARC rings are you torquing to the recommend 55ft lbs

I did but went up slowly. First time I tried I had some binding in the parallax. Did it again going up in stages and it’s been fine since. If you are at all nervous about it, I suggest 45 in/lbs. I have run the scope w this torque w no slippage in the rings and no binding in the scope.

Oh, and I’m sure it’s just a typo but it’s in/lbs and not Ft/lbs.

Thx! Yes I caught the typo and edited it. It should be fixed now

Aadland is more better

Agree, there is no better than Aadland.
I have Tenebraex on my Trijicon scope and they are pretty good but had to go with Aadland for my ZCO840.

 

[CoriolisEffect]

Aadland is more better

Having had Aadland for a while now and just grabbing a set of the ZCO branded Tene's recently, I greatly prefer Tenebraex. The material they use is much softer without sharp edges, and opens without the harsh snapping sound of hard plastic like the Aadlands do on open and close.

 

[CSTactical]

Aadland makes good stuff for sure, but we prefer the Tenebraex to have the option of easily removing them occasionally.

 

[deersniper]

Tennebrex don’t seal up tight and aren’t durable enough for my use.


Just my experience

 

[Lupercal]

Tenebraex are superior, they are way less bulky, and the plastic is nicer. Also Tenebraex don't look like complete shit on the scope, the others do imo... Their purpose is to keep debris away from the lenses when the scope is not in use which they do very well.

[Kleinotter]

Anyone in this thread transferred warranty on a ZCO? Just bought one off the PX and wondering how to get the process started once I receive it.

TIA

Cory

 

[gebhardt02]

@Kleinotter No need to transfer any warranty. We warranty the scope itself, not just to the first user. If there's an issue or anything, just get ahold of us. Usually best to call our service number at 208-435-4000 or shoot me an email.

Changed my setup from the XLR Element 4.0 Magnesium to the Envy Pro JV this morning, decided to go from the NRL Hunter Lightweight open setup to the NRL Hunter Heavyweight open setup with a XLR Envy Pro with C6. The balance of this setup is amazing - Richard

It might look good, when the barrelled action is also cerakoted in same color as the scope.
Thinking of doing the same to the scope mount

There has to be some contrast. I think if you cerakote the BA in the same color, you'll either need to leave the mount alone or find a different color to use on it.

I prefer to break it up with some black as well.

 

[viking78]

Well, you can get the color off, if it is not looking good.
Black with some camo on, always look good.

Dustin Ellerman from The History Channel's top shot and our own @gebhardt02 have some youtube videos on the ZC527 MPCT3X. Nick also goes over the details of the scope, mounting and zeroing as well. Also some great through the scope videos to see what the MPCT3X looks like through the scope for those that have not seen it yet.

[Recon_Scout]

What are the butler creek cap sizes (and yes I know aadland, tenebraex and mkm are better) if anyone runs them?

 

[Milliradian_50]

Tenebraex make´s also nice caps for the ZCO.

The 4GunGuy did a nice comparison video on ZCO's MPCT2 and MPCT3X, I figure it would be informative for the people that are choosing between these popular reticles. If anyone else has any questions about ZCO's feel free to give us a call at 916-670-1103

Got in my second ZCO today, 8-40x56 MPCT3X, on deck. Now to determine if I want to go with the 7PRC build or place it on one of my other rifles. 

 

[Bungi]

I know it is not popular on this site ... But I would love to see the 8-40 in MOA

 

[minorsubplot]

I will show it when i have it

Can you share the specs yet?
