Zero Compromise ZC840 8-40x56 starting to ship to CS Tactical!
- Thread starter CSTactical
- Start date
It's a great news. A scope of this kind was missing from the ZCO catalog. But now they have to work on the subtension and propose a more subtle tactical subtension.
Dang that 8-40 is a monster! Anyone know what other mags and scope lines are in the works at ZCO? I'm a little more in that $2k - $2.5k-ish price range......
I highly doubt they will ever play in that price point, in fact I would prefer they not.
And this is why reticles are such a personal preference.
For the PRS game "tremor" type reticles (or another “tree” model) are the best. I have an EBR-7C on a Vortex in my .22LR that I am very happy with it, but on other occasions you would like another type of reticle.
When you shoot a gong of 30cm or less at long distance, what you want is a reticle that lets you see as much of the target as possible.
Why the 1000yd F-Class guys use a SFP reticle?
I find that the S&B LRR is almost like an SFP while retaining the benefits of an FFP.
My opinion….
I don't want to criticize ZCO, I find they are exceptional scopes, but there is always room for improvement.
Excuse me for bad English, I have a lot of trouble making long speeches.

As long as it is atleast 2...I'm good...hehe
hahaha....I swear that kid is getting bigger every time you post a vid of him. Love it. And yes, looks like the PRC recoil rocked him a bit....maybe some bricks in his back pants pockets will help! haha ;-)
Question, in the prior still pic of the 8-40 on your gun, it appears that the scope is in a one piece mount (which I believe you use on all of your guns, maybe) and my question is "can you see the windage witness mark as it appears to be behind the ring?
Parallax, who cares as those numbers are rarely reliable in my limited experience, but windage turret setting being either at zero if you hold for wind or set if you dial for wind seems important to see. No?
Thanks again for your pics....keep it up!
Me too! Hoping to post some scope porn Monday afternoon as long as UPS overnight isn’t being a bunch of slackers.
@CSTactical I have a request. I see there is a Chick-fil-A 1.5miles from you. When the Scope is done with Cerakote, can you take a picture of it beside a bag from Chick-fil-A? 
Would be appreciated if you post here. I'll be on the road shooting some comps and would like some scope pr0n.

Absolutely!!! My boys will be happy to assist
Teenager, they grow fast
That 6.5 PRC has the most recoil i have shot in 6,5mm rifles, as it show that a smaller and lighter person, it does push back a bit.
Roni shot with the 338 Norma Magnum 2 years ago, that hi was also handle like a man
You need to turn your head a bit, to see the line of the windage, but it is same with Spuhr, just a few degrees.
This is Audere Adversus mount from Italy, very solid mounts, quality equal to Spuhr, if you are interested of these, Tyler is importer of these in USA, https://www.mkmachining.com/product-category/scope-mounts/audere/
I am not a wind guy, i should teach of the wind, and how to shoot in a different wind, so i just take the elevation in the first shots, and see, where do i need to dial the windage, if i am not taking the windage with a holdover, that is the fastest way for sure.
Another video of Roni, now behind the CTR 260rem and ZC420, distance 385-meters 4" steel inner black grouse.

That's just great and its outstanding that you and your son Roni have this activity to do together. Its just my opinion, but I do think that young men to get to spend quality time with a good father benefit to a huge extent.
And the kid gets to shoot top shelf guns, scopes, suppressors and ammo !! Want to adopt me? LOL
I do know Tyler and MKM. Didn't know he was the importer of Audere and that's pretty cool. But that's mostly because I use rings versus one piece mounts. Even with very low rings, I have to jack the comb on my chassis/stocks up quite a bit. I personally really like the American Rifle Company rings.
@CSTactical @Nik H - Hey Nicky....you see, even this kid in Finland got a hat. What are we...chopped liver? LOL
joking...well, sort of! hahaha

That kid has pretty good trigger control, now the lefty next to him needs to take a few notes.
Haha…it’s the circle of life, my friend. Yep, at 13 the hormones pop and a red blooded male will have only one thing on his mind and it’s not Dad and rifles! Lol.It is nice to have some father and son time on the pit

No worries…when he hits 40 he’ll be back ( just joking).
Do you hunt at all? Does that interest Romi more than target shooting.
My father never did a single thing with me. I think be grateful for what time you do have with him. I would have given anything to go shooting w my dad at that age.
Please keep posting the vids. I see you are almost thawed out there…just bits of snow here and there. I’d love to see you shooting in Finland in the summer (which I bet is as beautiful as it is short) in shorts and a T- shirt! Haha
@CSTactical - haha…Richard, if @Nik H and I see another pic of the hat we didn’t get, look for us in the shadows when you leave work! Lol. Joking, of course.
Trust me, that is the world's most expensive Richardson snap back.
Hahaha…yeah, I get it.
Lol are you the fella who bought four of them?
Nicky and I are poors that can only afford one $4k+ scope at a time. Haha

4 ZCOs? I'd have to ask Richard..... I honestly don't remember... I know that's horrible.
Size comparison. I spent some time with it out to 1270 yds yesterday, but the sunlight wouldn’t hang around long enough for me to do everything I wanted to. I will be back at it later today.
It's a sad day when you're shooting up nice Caterpillar tractors

How do you know they were nice?
How can you tell they're Caterpillar?It's a sad day when you're shooting up nice Caterpillar tractors
Komatsu and others' construction/ mining equipment are yellow as well.
I have no idea what tractor, was just making a joke since the tractor seemed to almost be in the line of site
Here's a video we made yesterday with the full lineup up ZCO's including the new ZC840
