I can tell you 1000% that if there are any completely free or even ridiculously discounted ZCO optics out there, it’s extremely rare.
There’s “help” that’s afforded on case by case basis, but it’s not even remotely close to enough that would make you sway from a Tangent, NF, or Leupold. You’d still be paying more for a ZCO with help than you would a Leupold at full retail.
And if you can afford the ZCO with the help, you can afford the Theta.
Leupold on the other hand, there are quite a bit of big time help or free optics. Especially when the mk5 released.
And that’s not a knock against Leupold. It’s genius marketing to flood the sport with the mk5 when for so many years they didn’t have a good FFP for this kind of stuff. And they are an ancient and experienced company. ZCO definitely wasn’t in a spot where flooding the market with free alpha tier optics would make any sense financially.
We sell a lot of mk5 optics. They are very good for the price. And deserve the credit for where they are at.
But I think it’s worth keeping the air clean about Jeff, Nick and everyone else at ZCO. Their current status in the market is almost solely on merit, performance, and plain hard work.
