Who is buying kahles 5-25 or NF 7-35?

I bought a ZCO and liked my NF 7-35 better so I traded for another NF 7-35 plus cash.
I compared them extensively. The Glass is so close it doesn't matter. I liked the turrets better on the nightforce. You can't go wrong either way. If you can't hit it or see it with one the other isn't going to magically fix your problem.
Neener neener.

I agree with @Mordamer im sticking with the 7-35 atacr also. ZCO Is nice I just don’t love the reticle options at the moment and prefer the 7-35 feel and function. As for ZCO It is very exciting and refreshing to see a relatively new company take on the top tier optics market and have the reputation they already have. There’s enough imported swampshit in the lower tiers to drive ya crazy but to see ZCO come in and in the short time do what they’ve done is pretty cool.

Nightforce only here too! ZCO not as impressive as some make it sound
I agree with the above posts. I sold NF ATACR 7x35 and bought a ZCO. Ran it for a few months and could not make myself fall in love with it. Sold the ZCO and bought another NF ATACR. I agree with above posts I prefer the NF turrets over the ZCO. NF does not lock but I have never had an issue with my turret being off because of lack of a lock. I ran TT before that and they do not lock.
Locking turrets are a huge pain in the butt. I won't buy a scope with them. It's not a necessary feature.
Top tier glass but maybe not as durable ?
A nib one sold for 2300 and a used went for 2200 both in the last week
How you figure? Pull it up leave it up
Now windage turrets on the other hand. YTF aren’t they all capped low profile ? On pretty much every scope
Listen here Husky, don’t you be talking shit on that rotating ocular, that’s a gift from the Gods.
And sometimes that’s for brand spanking new
to the OP, I don’t have a ZCO, and I’m sure they are everything everyone says they are. I will say the ergonomics of a LSW & top parallax are features that shouldn’t be shrugged off as fast as they seem to be IMO.
Like everything else, just depends on what you’re doing I guess.
I can't tell what the warranty of the minox is. The manual says 2 years. Their website says 25.
I like the reticle a lot.
Nf mil xt is nice as well but the rotating ocular really really bugs me. No trigger cam. And the caps rotating are just a pain.
Mil discount for nf is 2800. Minox used ish is 2400$ and zco generally around 3200-3300.

So i thought id like the LSW. I have to say im not a huge fan. I need more time with it to formulate a better opinion but i like using my strong hand to adjust the wind so i can maintain sight picture. if i have to use my support hand, its to wasy to lose my target cause there is no rear support. The tradeoff is my hand is off the trigger, but if im diailing for wind that means i have time and opportunity. The top paralax is awesome though. Ihave to say overall i really like mu Kahles.And sometimes that’s for brand spanking new

Yeah, it took a minute to get used to. I'm right handed, and I use my right hand (shooting hand) to reach over and dial windage (as well as elevation and adjust parallax). I'm able to stay on the gun, aimed on target, and I can visually see the windage correction - no counting 'clicks'. I get it's not for everybody, but it's definitely an advantage to me. I also have come to prefer a counter clockwise rotation to increase magnification (from the shooters perspective). It seems more natural for me being right handed. I believe ZCO is CCW and NF is CW?
I've been buying/selling scopes pretty regular the past couple years, and I've thought about selling the Kahles to try out a ZCO, but I'm just really digging the ergonomics lately. But like I said, I have no doubts that the ZCO is amazing.
hopefully one of these days milehigh gets a zeco in stock again and i'll drive up (300 miles) and take a looksee and i'm sure i'll like some things about it and some others not. Not selling my NF or Kahles just to try out the new kid on the block though. Just not seeing it do anything my current scopes don't do. Like the fella said, if u can't hit it with ur current top tier scope, your probably not going to hit it with anything else
