Rifle Scopes Official Zero Compromise Optic News & Updates

[fili.herrera]

Are those PNTC LRC matches run any better than they were a couple years ago? I remember too many squads, not enough stages, and a couple annoying loudmouths.

honestly it was my first one to attend and I had a blast. I really cant speak to what has happened over there in the past but it seemed to run pretty smoothly. I know theres another one that I am attending on Dec. 19.

 

[viking78]

I wish i could go back in time, in to a 3th of July in this summer.
We were shooting with Haenel RS9 338 Norma Magnum with ZC527 on top of that rifle in to a 700 yards.

im gonna be working on that this next week

 

[seansmd]

I tried unsuccessfully with the Triggercam, and the Phonescope was cludgey and unreliable.

 

[viking78]

One ZCO leaving from Austria to me tomorrow

 

[Moose]

What reticle did you get?

 

[viking78]

[Moose]

I have the MPCT3 and wouldn’t change a darn thing about it. I’ve used it in both practical positional matches and belly matches and it has been phenomenal for both. For me it is not so busy that I lose my shots and I think the open mil holds add such a great advantage to it all. I guess you could say it’s my fav reticle.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the MPCT3. We are glad to hear you like it!

Spuhr rings are backwards, just FYI. GREAT looking rig though!

Just put in another order for the MPCT3... @CSTactical keeps taking my lunch money...

 

[BuLLet]

From his past posts I believe it was a loaner, had it for a few weeks as I recall. Maybe the scope was a loaner too

Beautiful rifle. Simple, elegant.

 

[BuLLet]

Thanks, shoots good too!

I have another 5x27 I could have put on it as well, but figured the 4x20 looked better on it.

[viking78]

First scope in the home.
Only mount is missing.
Audere 2 piece 36mm mounts on the mail, i hope they would turn up asap in to me.

 

[Canuck1977]

Just received my ZCO 527 with Impact 2 reticule and wow, I’m impressed! I don’t regret ditching my S&B PMII at all.

Only 2 little things I found that are annoying but that’s the best scope I had.

1- the parralax turret will interfere with the Spuhr Mount wedge while mounting the scope but easy fix!
2- the ocular piece will still rotate with the Tenebreax cap even with the lock ring tight... again not a big issue. Would probably modify the cap.

Can’t wait to try it out this weekend!

 

[huntnh]

I love to check one out!! If anyone has one in the New Hampshire area and is willing to show it off please shoot me a pm

Bucks down!

 

[Bakwa]

Anyone have the latest ETA on the ZC420 MPCT3's? They've obviously been postponed a little longer than expected at this point.

 

[BuLLet]

Wow, that is one happy kid!

Congrats!

Bucks down!

We are still expecting the reticles very soon.

 

[gnochi]

We are still expecting the reticles very soon.

Maybe this is more of a question for @koshkin, but why would a first focal plane reticle need to be a different glass part design, if the following assumptions hold?

• The reticle etching itself is the same
• The scope has the same tube diameter, and a very similar objective lens diameter

My understanding is that the first focal plane reticle is placed where the objective lens focuses from infinity, so you’re constrained by distance-from-lens and diameter-of-zoom/erector-tube, which presumably wouldn’t much care about whether the design is ultrashort or not, especially when the overall erector travel is nominally identical.

Sweet baby Yoda. As a photography nerd, this is an absolute gorgeous shot, ZCO included! The Foundation stocks are truly eye pleasers...

Let us know when you're ready, we can build a sexy package for you

 

[Canuck1977]

hey guys,

quick one. How many mils of elevation did you get once the scope has been zeroed?

With a 1.5” Spuhr mount and a 30moa rail, I got 23.2 mils left...

What did you get?

 

[b2lee]

With a 20MOA built in rail and a 20MOA Spuhr...I'm getting 28.9 Mils of up with a hot load of 230gr A-Tips doing 2950fps on a 100yd zero.

 

[Carolina Hill Billy]

About 22 Mils with Audere medium rings and 20 MOA rail.

2. The members here have requested a sunshade, and the first batch of 56mm sunshades has also been sent out to dealers. MSRP on the sunshades is $60 and measures 3" long.

I spoke to someone at ZC and they advised y’all plan on releasing an MOA optic , is this true and when ya think it will launch if you do make one ? Thanks

We are working on an MOA model, yes, but it'll be some time yet until it is ready. I'm not going to even hazard a guess as to when it'll be ready for release though.

Some shooting from yesterday, setting the zero and testing 2 suppressors.

 

[NiteQwill]

Shot an awesome match at The Lead Farm this past weekend. Absolutely brutal conditions (cold, snow, winds up to 19 mph all day) with a great MD and great people. This was my first time (finally) using the ZCO in a match. One stage was a LR, "Hail Mary" stage with targets from 1022 to 1522 yards. The ZCO performed great, the optical clarity of the 527 at that range was unreal. I put 6 for 6 on these targets with a 6 GT. The ability to literally see the wind downrange and spot hits on the steel at that distance was something I couldn't do with my previous scopes... I had to remind myself to keep shooting before the time ran out on that stage because I was admiring how clear the targets were.

I'm convinced...

Anyone on the fence about these scopes, you won't be disappointed.

[viking78]

Factory Tikka T3X TAC A1, but the barrel is cut in to a 18" lenght, and it has straight fluting.
ZCO 527 with Audere rings.
