[gebhardt02]

We have partnered with Guardian Long Range to raffle off a ZC527 MPCT3X this year. They have a Givergy page set up to purchase tickets. https://us.givergy.com/guardianlongrangecompetition/?controller=raffles&action=showRaffle&id=2

We are very excited to help this important mission raise some much needed funds.

Brief YouTube video they put together:

We tested KAR-21 in 223rem kit today with boys.
I would like to have one of these

Here is an interesting test of some high end optics at 20X that someone sent me a link: https://www.kineticsecuritysolutions.com/pages/optics-comparison

The ZC527 did extremely well

Not Surprised!

Aaron Hipp did a excellent job on the test and comparisons. Of course he got challenged by some fanboys of other brands.

Roni, tripod and 338 Norma.

So here’s a question for you…better with the one tripod leg out front and the two in the back or the opposite. I’ve been putting the one leg in the back as it would appear to resist recoil better and not rock back but I’m interested to see what more experience shooters think.

Oh, and how’s Roni’s shoulder doing? Haha

I think @Diver160651 has had some threads on how to use a tripod in various scenarios. For that specific question I don't remember what the answer was. Some are a few years old but very very good.
Edit: start here.

See the 2021 match schedule here: https://www.avenaltactical.com/ including the next UKD Team Match, 2 PRS Pro Bolt series, PRS SW Regional Qualifier, and monthly Hunter and PRS regional series, matches. Because our match was sold out 10 months in advance, we feel we should offer a spin up...

I think there is another good thread but harder to find. I Watched the thread at some point.

I just ordered 2 ball caps and a zippered hoodie.

Email/msg @gebhardt02 for details. He'll either send you a PDF order form or forward to Jeff Huber to send you the order form.

Hi,

I don’t get out of the semi-auto sub-forum much. Is this the sticky thread where we are supposed to beg ZCO for a 2-16x lightweight MPVO for the next 2-3years?

Here. Not a sticky, but ZCO is tracking.

 

[deersniper]

Where’s the tshirts and sweat shirts available ?

 

[deersniper]

I see this but where are the pics and why no t shirts

 

[viking78]

ZCO, the best a man can get.

 

[CSTactical]

@deersniper you might as well delete that since those are old prices and options. Contact ZCO @gebhardt02 directly for current options.

What is the source/deal on that trigger shoe/cover thing?

PS mozzie @ high noon over the raptor mount

@gebhardt02
Where the price sheet and apparel pics ?

 

[CSTactical]

Just a heads up, we have some FDE ZC420 M2 and M3X's shipping in. So new that we don't have pics yet

 

[Peskadot671]

First post although I've been a long time lurker of the hide. I just received my ZC420 with MPCT-1 reticle yesterday and so far, I'm super impressed with it. I wanted to come on here and give a shout out to Richard at CS Tactical. At first, they were out of stock of their ZC420 with MPCT-1 reticle. He contacted me a couple days later to inform me that they had one coming in the next day.

He set me up with the order and he was in constant communication with me throughout the process. Awesome customer service! I wanted to get a set of ARC rings but they were out of stock so I ended up getting a set of ZCO (APA) Tru-Loc rings. I also got some ZCO Tenebraex covers, ZCO 3" sunshade, and a Flatline Ops bubble level. In regards to optical performance, I need to spend more time with it. So far, it's living up to the hype and has surpassed what I currently have.

Other optics that I currently own;
- Kahles K525i 5-25×56
- March-FX High Master 4.5-28x52
- Nightforce NX8 2.5-20X50
- Athlon Cronus BTR Gen2 4.5-29x56
- Athlon Helos BTR Gen2 2-12×42
- SWFA SS 3-15×42
- SWFA SS Fixed 10x42

Don't laugh but I mounted the ZC420 on my airgun lol.

@viking78

If you know a trigger shoe, that does the same job, but so much cheaper.
I dont like narrow trigger, like that Timney on this rifle, also done the same job for my Tikka triggers.

Any info on how you did this or the parts, supplier, etc?
PM me if this is off topic for the ZCO thread. Cheers.

No. American Air Arms Paradigm.

Heat shrink tube
Cut one short that you mount to middle of trigger, shrink it.
Let it cool down, add a new longer tube, and heat it.
Cut the extra, that comes off the trigger.

I was looking, that this aint just a Daystate, or Brocock.
Is it .25"
I have had few Marauders, nice gun these PCP´s.
A lot of power, and still so quiet.

American Air Arms (AAA) is a US manufacturer. They're extremely well made and robust. AAA airguns are built more like a firearm than your average PCP airgun. The model I have is in .22cal.

When I see a zco with a 3 reticle, for some reason I have an urge to buy it. I have 2 already and I don't "need" another, yet the urge remains.... looks like I will end up with an 840 and move a 527 to my 223 where my AMG currently Resides. It's almost like an addiction....

Glad you are enjoying it, no laughing at that airgun at all. That rifle is pretty sick!

Damn that looks good! We have one Flat Dark Earth ZC420 M2 coming in and and a few Flat Dark Earth ZC420 M3X's available Pics are not even added to our site yet. https://cstactical.com/zco-4-20x50-zc420-riflescope-fde/

(take 2, it's difficult to replicate the color using your phone)

Nice!

Any chance you have a factory FDE AI Mag nearby for a color comparison shot?

What's going on with the turrets in that picture? CW elevation and backwards windage???

I didn't even notice that, maybe a bad photoshop job? At least the color is pretty accurate

At first I got excited thinking it was a LSW in a mirrored image with some photoshopping.....is it? Is it a LSW?

 

[kydron]

Didn't see this mentioned in the thread, but is the NLE option reversible back to locking? My current one is the locking and it works fine for me but wanted to understand my options if I picked up a NLE version.

Yes, it is directly from ZCO for $150.00

We have a few left with the M3X reticle https://cstactical.com/zco-4-20x50-zc420-riflescope-fde/

It's hard to get a decent picture of with my phone lol

 

[wooferocau]

Is the T5 reticle available on the ZC 4-20?

 

[wooferocau]

Put 4 ZCO,s up against one another ... (3x) 5-27 and (1x) 8-40..

Even with the sheer quality of the ZCO,s ........still variations between samples...

One of the 5-27,s has incredible resolution and finite sharpness...slightly edging out the other 2 5-27 samples.

The 8-40 faired the worst ( if you can define it as worst) slightly less contrast and not as sharp as the three 5-27,s...

 

[CSTactical]

Many newer hard to get ZCO options are in stock right now like FDE, MOA and an NLE model! www.cstactical.com/Zero-Compromise-Optic
If anyone has questions feel free to call 916-670-1103

 

[viking78]

People in Finland love ZCO.
I have sold few scopes, (not mine, hell no)and i have received extremely positive feedback.
Sayonara S&B PM2, that i so last season scope, even some people are trying to sell it as a best optic in Finland.
SB might be that a decade ago, there is a new king in world, and that is ZCO.
