Rifle Scopes Alpha Class High Magnification 6-36/7-35 FFP Scope Review

I can say beyond a doubt that the contrast on an 840 doesn't suck... I have one and have looked down TTs at the range and they are VERY close, maybe a smidge better for the TT. But that photo they show does NOT represent the glass in a ZCO well at all. I don't know what happened but that contrast doesn't look great in that photo, however shooting a couple thousand rounds down one in various conditions (including rain, snow, at Dawn and dusk) to my eye I was able to pick out any target no matter how battered and worn against similar colored backgrounds, something that was far more difficult in my NF 5-25 ATACR. Also I do have a newer ZCO (got it a year ago). Take it for what it is from my opinion, it's just that an opinion.


It’s a general consensus from various reviewers like @koshkin and @Glassaholic that through a camera never fully represents what the eye sees.

Rifle Scopes March 5-42 Gen 2 PRS Edition

“For my eyes and in the context of a PRS match, X Scope works better than Y Scope for Reasons 1, 2, and 3,” is not throwing shade and I submit many here would welcome a more brand-specific comparison.

Now, if it’s more like “PRS people and online trolls are weak minded and will react unfavorably to even the smallest perceived criticism of their favorite optic, this will cause needless stress in my life, thus I shall refrain from comparing specific brands,” well, I think we all understand that.

If you’ve seen any of the “ZCO VS X” or “540i vs Y” threads in the last 6 months you’ll see why it just invites whinging.
