After the number of PM s I have had with accounts mirroring my own.....I am VERY happy with my decision!
Rifle Scopes Official Zero Compromise Optic News & Updates

I hate to hear of anyone having trouble with ZCO or any other top scope.
I love my 840 and wouldn't trade it for any other brand scope available.
My scope's controls, optics, and looks are outstanding.

I had two new ZCOs come with less than stellar turrets. One I could say was probably a really minor assembly difference or quibble on my part, but it was definitely something. However, the second seems absolutely seems faulty to me. Whatever ZCOs final QC is, it seems to be lacking.
OP gets in his Maybach, pours a bourbon, tells the driver to take him away from this mess...

Well , thats not good , I was going to order a 527 , BUT will wait until this and other issues are fixed , like maybe bigger tube or built in mount like the old German Army Hensoldt 3-12 .
BUT that would assume the company is more about fixing issue correctly , over saving face , sometimes they can NEVER admitt they be wrong, like most managers .

I think your math is a little off, but good for you...
This is an odd post. Has there even been a single example of ZCO not being willing to take back a scope to evaluate or fix? Probably best you stick with your Barska scope for now, bud.
Did you try ZCO’s torque recommendation versus Spuhrs?
And are they different?
Sounds like that may be the issue, not the scope.
edit: or try different rings?

Did any of those unhappy customers who mirrored your experience ever send the scope back to ZCO for repair and hence know what was the failure mode…what was the needed corrective action?
Faulty in what way?
Pretty sure he’s talking AUS dollars…not US.
Hence my unanswered question as to where scopes for that market are assembled…here or Austria.
I've never not tightened rings/mounts down to anything other than what that manufacturer recommends and I have never had an issue. The scope tubes should have a range built into them and I would think something as heavy-duty as ZCO should be able to accommodate any of the rings/mounts in common use.
Saying that I own a ZCO and couldn't be happier with the scope. It functions perfectly and has the best glass and eye box of any scope I have used and I've had a lot from US Optics, Nightforce, Schmidt&Bender, Kahles, Minox, Leupold, etc. The only scope that may have surpassed the eye box is a buddies 4-16 Hensoldt.
ZCO would have made good on anything that needed to be fixed. Every new manufacturer has it's growing pains and kinks to work out and ZCO will be a top tier scope for a very long time.
On the other hand a company like Leupold should have it's shit together but clearly they are missing the boat. Every Leupold I have touched in the last 10 years has been a mechanical disaster and they should be ashamed of themselves for the product they put on the shelves. I will never buy another.
It's not like people aren't competing with them every weekend and watching it like a sustained field trial...
How many "unboxing" videos do you have that you call "reviews"?
Dang, it looks like all the scopes in your picture have been found guilty of their crimes and are awaiting execution, lol.
Just curious why you'd get 3 different reticles?I am in Aus...Math is perfect thanks..
Materially deficient.
Hello my friend…that pretty much doesn’t explain anything.
Willing to share some specifics?
When ZCO tells me, I will tell you. Until then it is conjecture I’m not qualified to make.
Ah…thank you. Didn’t know it was still w them.
I haven’t had a bit of trouble w my 5-27. Very happy w it and I’d bet you will be when you get it back.
Cheers.
Oh. Fuck Aus.I am in Aus...Math is perfect thanks..
Any update on all of these supposed issues ???
Who calls a 5-27 a 5-25
And who orders so many different reticles.
Smells like lies
Seems like a lot of low post count and or new people having issues.
Any long term / known members here having issues ?
I noticed that one too but wrote it off as him being an Aussie. It's a weird situation that looks pretty odd considering everything involved.
3 X Owner. No issues. Perfectly happy.
I withdraw my above comments I hear there are some failures coming out of the woodwork , specifically mostly on magnum calibers
Really???? Hmmmm, well it can and does happen to every outfit from time to time. I'm sure zco will take care of it but they should probably just say what the deal is if there is some issue
Stuff happens. It's how they resolve issues that sets them apart. I can tell you ZCO and crew are some of the best in the business at taking care of customers. If anyone has issues ever, I can assure folks they are in good hands with Jeff, Nick, and crew.
I'm trying to get to the bottom of this, but it takes a lot of time and specific details. Lots of customers with ZCOs on magnums and no issues at all. Some we know real well and have asked directly to check. We are working on getting any issue, past, current, or future sorted out so nobody has a repeat problem. Again, we are doing our best on a case by case basis to work with the customer and sort things out. It takes a bit, but we are doing what we can.
You "hear"? Not "know", right?
Personally I don't put too much credence into anonymous reports...if people with supposed failed ZCO's aren't willing to stand up and say so, then I'm not willing to listen to what is essentially indistinguishable from gossip.
Right?
Didn’t TT have some parallax binding issues in Spuhr mounts at one time? I personally never had a issue w the 2 TT i owned.
I have 2 buddies that run ZCO scopes without issues. 4 scopes total but they don’t run over 94 grains of powder.

Never a doubt in my mind about that sir! It does take some time to figure out things and be sure. It's one thing to guess about this or that but it's another to truly understand everything. We know how yall roll and it's why we support zco so much.
I am one. Ran a 5-27 on a 300 Norma and now a 300 PRC until I can grab a 4-20 over the winter. No issues whatsoever.
..
I have one of the first 8-40s and the parallax does feel different from out of the box, but I still shoot the shit out of it in PRS matches and no problems. I haven’t had a single issue from the other 15 or so I have/had. I will send both my match scopes in at the end of the season to be gone through like anyone who runs their gear a lot should do. Other ZCOs went 12,000 miles by air earlier this year and they came out ready to go with no zero shift.
@wooferocau I can't seem to figure you out here... First post is about an obvious issue, but you don't seem to want to work with the manufacturer. The dealer is powerless and has the same knowledge as you would about the inner workings of the optic. Then further posts show you seem to be deprived of attention and posting a picture of 5 ZCO boxes seems to mean something. I for one hope that no optic company has to deal with a customer like you. We have names for guys like you in my business and it isn't a good thing.

So I picked up a 5-27X a while back and it lived on my 22LR while I was building my Terminus Zeus QC 223.
Awesome scope, I have run it side by side with my 7-35X ATACR and while the glass is top notch on both the ZCO has the edge, my experience has been that in good conditions the glass difference is almost imperceivable but in trickier conditions the ZCO starts to show its class.
Unfortunately mine has developed a defect in the ocular lens (pretty sure as the defect rotates when I turn it). It looks kinda like a chunk has came out of the glass.
Anyways I have emailed [email protected] twice regarding this and not had a response. On ZCOs site there are instructions to send it in for warranty:
Sending in the product for repairs
Follow the steps below to ensure timely service:
Zero Compromise Optic
Attn: Service Department
9190 Lower Fords Creek Rd
Orofino, ID 83544
USA
As I live in Canada I want to verify everything before sending (will probably cost a pretty penny to ship) but no replies to my emails.
Has anyone else send something in for repair? Or contacted ZCO regarding a warranty issue at the email address listed above? What was your experience?

@Cardboard Assassin I checked that email account this morning, nothing from you in there. I haven't seen anything in spam either.
Being in Canada is a bit different but we'll work through that with you to get that taken care of. Sending you a PM.

Received - Will proceed as instructed - many thanks.
Just curious, for those of you who claim problems with your ZCO scope, how many are using Spuhr mounts?
How many with scope problems are using other mounts and who makes them?

ZCO rings since the start but I will be switching over to the ARC M-brace mount on the 5-27 and moving the rings over to the 4-20 when I get it.
I have an M-Brace mount on my 840 and liked it so well that I removed the Nightforce rings on my Trijicon scope and replaced them with another M-Brace.
M-Brace forever!

I would love to run the M-brace on the 4-20 as well but the action is an alpine split rail Impact 787 so it won't work. The ZCO rings are fantastic though and I would recommend them to anyone who needs rings.
Yeah that's water in your scope from bad grease or something coming unsealed.
My two have needed adjustment out of the box, prior to mounting. No parallax binding or lens issues though, just turrets.
