Rifle Scopes Razor gen 3 upgrade

ZCO warranty is every bit as good as vortex
  • The illumination in my ZCO 527 went flaky after three years. ZCO Warranty specifically states electronics are covered for two years. Vortex warranty is lifetime for everything.
  • I called about sending my ZCO scope in to be checked. Guy said sure, send it in. I asked for a shipping label. Nope. Send it on your dime. Vortex provided labels for both of my early-release gen-3 Razors to have their gummy turrets "fixed."
  • ZCO warranty explicitly excludes damage from negligence or disaster. Vortex covers both. My son bought a used 1st-gen Strike Eagle several years ago... short version is the scope had a damaged lens; Vortex sent a new one next day.
So, in each company's written coverage and in my actual experience, ZCO warranty is NOT as good as Vortex.

Another boring scope question.

Definitely the #1 question is "how does it shoot?" Since you answered that, then you can move to #2: "Are you satisfied with that?" If the answer is no, then time to mess with it. If you are comfortable with the accuracy, then don't mess with it. Just don't base #2 off of dick measuring on the forums, it has to fall short of what you want for its intended purpose.

That is a less important area of a barrel for a gouge (if there is really such a thing. Across the lands would be a different story. I've shot barrels that looked like a warzone through a borescope, and they were still sub-minute.

Did you buy someone's take off, or do they sell just the barrel/gas system?
