Rifle Scopes Top tier scope recommendation

So I currently run an element theos, and it’s great! But I’ve been going back and forth on a zco or khales. I’m thinking either the 527 or 540i. What are opinions on reticle thickness? I tried a vortex razor 3, but it was too thin for my eyes. The theos reticle (thickness/presence) is what I’d like to have if possible. Seems maybe zco does this a bit better? Any help would be great as the guys I shoot with don’t run either scope. Primarily razor gen 3’s or atacr on the more premium side.


Give me a call at 916-628-3490, I’ll be happy to go over the pros and cons of those various options. - Richard

Why are AR15s so difficult to shoot for the average shooter?

Bullshit.

5MOA with junk ammo means you suck.

Describing that setup between 1-2 MOA is easily possible--even with junk ammo. Don't make me get out my AK/steel cased ammo and prove my point.

Ammo makes a difference. It doesn't make a 5MOA difference.
I have a LR-308 that struggled to put federal fusion ammo into a group the size of a basketball. Switch to federal gold medal match and it is sub moa. Photobucket nuked my account many years ago, or I would post pics of the groups from the same range session. The difference was… stark…

Why do people load so hot?

It's hard to take what you say seriously if you just dismiss the load data as "lawyer loads", you can see the pressure and there's 3rd party testing out there that confirms that the pressures are accurate. But again the question leads to, why don't you just shoot a cartridge with more case capacity and run a slower powder and achieve the same higher velocity at lower pressure?
"you can see the pressure" - sometimes I can and sometimes I don't . It is rare where the book is shooting the same barrel length, bullet, and case. My 308 loads usually show pressure in the primers - I shoot Federal 210Ms and 41.52 grains of IMR 4064. That is a moderate load going about 2,600 FPS - not hot. I shoot a 300 prc with 230 grain Bergers, 215M, H1000, and Lapua brass going 2,850. That is not a hot load - I have about 45 pieces of brass that went 16 full cycles without head separation. I expect to get more than 2,000 rounds thru my current barrel. I don't shoot hot because a barrel costs too much. I didn't say I shot hot, I said I know where pressure shows. I don't want to be close to that.

By the way, where is this 3rd party testing-pressure confirmation data with your barrel, powder, bullet, primer, case, and chamber? Where is that coming from?

Ukraine war Bullshit.

I agree and add we need some real solutions to Russia doing the same, IE Pulling the arms and weapons back.
Wrong.

I dis agree, the comms were intercepted(western spooks listening in), they(rebels on the ground)thought it was a transport aircraft. They( anyone who has a triple digit IQ) know who did it.

I am more than willing to look at any supportive evidence you have to back up that claim.


Edited for clarity

Western spooks? That's funny. The same ones that came up with the Russian collusion hoax, the pipeline being a Russian act, the Ukraine impeachment, the Ukraine coup, the Hunter laptop BS........
Hmmm 🤔,

Why do people load so hot?

I used to shoot suspicious internet load data through our calibrated pressure and velocity test barrels until I got a few that were well north of 80ksi and I decided fucking up a couple thousand dollar transducer wasn't worth my entertainment.
I send a friend of mine Internet data sometimes and ask him to give me the psi as he works for an ammo company in their lab. One load he sent back, “ dude, just don’t!”. LOL. But it’s safe in my rifle 🤣.

Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

Bumping this but for those on the fence... The new March PRS is the real deal. I'm a die hard ZCO zealot and have half a dozen of them. The new March does shit I couldn't believe until getting behind it. The build quality , fov ect are all great. With the 26* eye piece I can shoot on 29-30 power with the march and have the same FOV as a ZCO 527 at 20x. Brandons reticle is one the best I have seen. That's cool but the big enchilada is how this optic handles mirage. NOTHING and I mean nothing I have looked through cuts through mirage like this march. Tangents ZCO, hensdoldt...nothing. What looked like a blob in the ZCO was a well defined steel target where I could see the paint and impacts in rolling mirage ( hot as hell and windy). So good infact, I sold a brand new 840zco to buy the march. I took a look again this last weekend through a buddies at a match and it just reaffirmed the choice. The only downside is they are hand built and have a long lead time. I would pay a lot more to have it in my hands today. I shouldn't post this because now I got to compete with everyone when I order #2 and #3 but these things are something special. You would be doing yourself a huge favor to find someone with one and look through it.
Thank you for the feedback, on behalf of March and myself we grestly appreciate the comments!!
