Rifle Scopes Official Zero Compromise Optic News & Updates

[J_D]

How do you like the 8-40 compared to the 5-27? I read that the 8-40 is not as bright, is that true to you?

I really don't notice anything different until I'm above 35x but clarity is the same.......the parallax window is tighter, but those are on my centerfire rifles only. My 527's are used on my PRS rimfire rifles, and I really settled on have a common reticle for all my rifles which is the 3x.

I'm heading to the SnipersHide 3 day class in a few weeks and I'll really get a much better feel for them over distance then.

04/14/23: We have a ZC527 M2X being delivered today! Grab it here! TREAT YO SELF

Interesting to note that a week later the one ("we have a") new M2X to be available, is still available.
Either everyone is looking and commenting but not buying
or
It seems a pretty clear message that buyers don't want FDE, are waiting for the 10Mil turrets, or both.

A recent comment above questions the thought that reticle design leads the buying decision.
The last few weeks I have decided it's time to sell a kidney and buy a ZCo or TT (well over six and eight thousand here).
51yo and the eyes need all the help they can get.
The catch with the TT is I just don't like the reticle choices.

Made the call to buy a ZCo last year. Stopped because the dealer was mucking around.
The new M2X and 10Mil non-locking turrets have me ringing the importer today.
Being Down Under, I assume we will see stock in about 2032

Well done Zero Compromise on continually evolving. @gebhardt02

Black ZCO’s continually move, FDE is for more of niche buyer. It’s been that way forever and it’s like that for every manufacturer. If this one was black it would have sold quickly

 

[viking78]

My opinion is, that the ZC840 is the best scope in the planet at this moment.

 

[viking78]

Had some fun with my friend and hi´s father
2 ZCO on the range.

I don’t have an exact ETA, but I’d get in line soon

 

[Nik H]

I won’t need it for several months

 

[CSTactical]

I’ll get you one when you’re ready!

 

[J_D]

Are these close enough where I should sell an 840 MPCT3x now?

I’d say you’d make the most quickly right now on your ZC840 right now.

 

[HenryTheAce]

I won’t need it for several months

I’m planning on one of these for the KMW/TacOps too

 

[CSTactical]

Update: The 10 MIL and MPCT2X are starting to ship in really soon! Get in line for the pre-order with us here!!!

 

[viking78]

 

[CSTactical]

05/08/23: And the first ZC527 10MIL NLE have arrived!!! Extremely impressed with this option with it's wider spacing and heavier clicks.
I personally picked the ZC527 10MIL NLE with the MPCT2X to compare the the MPCT3X reticle that is one of my favorite reticles. - Richard
More to come!

 

[J_D]

Now you're just teasing us

 

[QS-1911]

Last weekend was a bust for me when my alternator went out Saturday morning on the way to Freedom Ranch to zero my new ZCO, so depending on when the dealership gets it fixed I'll try for this weekend.


On a funny note, this was me saving for my first ZCO

Is this your 1st ZCO? If not, what do you think of the new turret?

 

[QS-1911]

Is this your 1st ZCO? If not, what do you think of the new turret?

No its not my first one, this is my 4th ZCO. I have the 8-40, 5-27, and 4-20. Noticeable difference in the clicks on the turret for sure, more profound. Easier to read the numbers as well.

 

[carbonbased]

clicks…more profound.

Lol not making fun of you as a person, but grinning at the choice of words. Don’t take it the wrong way!

You see, I think you’ve accidentally stumbled upon something; tripped over some long-lost subterranean emotion of the turret-dialer clan.

Maybe what turret-click fetishists ultimately, subconsciously, desperately(?) yearn for is…profundity.

Deep Profundity when dialing. It’s like an ache. Carried straight forth from the womb.

As in, at night during deepest REM, they imagine that if they dial a scope with the perfect clicky turrets (and only then, only!), their chosen god will part the clouds above the field of battle and issue forth, in a solemn, singular, majestic voice,

“Your firing solution is good, my son.”

Clicky's of the sublime. As it were. It cannot be defined using our mere language.

 

[carbonbased]

The soul-shaking resonance of the moment would be not dissimilar to the scene below.

Just watch how early Australopithecus afarensis touches the monolith…they know that their (metaphorical) turret landed solidly and securely in its holy detent where it cannot, no, shall not wander…THUNK:
