Rifle Scopes Zco 2-10 experiences? Please post here.

[Lovetheguns]

Hello all, I shoot a good bit of multigun and carbine competition. I haven't been super satisfied with with the lpvo options on the market. Currently I'm running the razor 1-10. And I have the atacr as well.
Awesome optics, but I never use 1x at all in comps and for higher power requirements, I find myself wanting better.
My question is, how do you like the zco 2-10? I dont mind spending the money if it's something I love. Let me know your experiences on it. Thanks.

Just started playing mine. I have 2, one DMR and one HTR. I love both, the optical quality is typical ZCO, I love the layout of the illustration and Parallax. They are super bright and easy to get behind. For me ( an admitted LVPO novice) the two reticle are great with slightly different strengths. I find the HTR is a faster one and for me a shorter one. It is on my 16” 300 blk. The DMR is still fast but to me favors the round I may wish to reach out with, for me that’s just a very accurate 16” 223 wylde.

is it aimpoint bright?

is it aimpoint bright?

Nope...at least on my HTR
But you can go red or green illumination

It's not Aimpoint bright, but 2-10's are not meant to be. Many people will run a red dot at 12:00 for closer targets.

He is...jokingly.

If I'm being honest, grew up Red. Ran Green for many years. They both have pro's/con's and what actually makes/breaks it all is the quality of your local dealer/service. Both have left me stranded in the middle of a field.

Deere Queers

Local dealership is known for turning back hour meters , telling big customers about where little customers nice rented fields are. Etc.

I’ll make sure to not drink any kewlaid they start selling

 

[roostercogburn98]

But for the OPs original question, they are nice. I dare say I almost prefer it to the 420.

Anyone know if this guy is on the Hide? I’ve seen a lot of yahoo’s on youtube but I found his style of reviewing and shooting and real world observations to be beneficial. Great job I felt. Glad to see the MPVO finally getting the coverage it deserves.

We are down to just one black ZC210 with the DMR in stock right now - Richard

That came up in my feed late last week because I was watching some of his 6ARC vids. 100% appreciate the relative FOV comparison. I would say his take on the 210 is pretty spot on. Is the ZCO worth the price?....(hesitant) yes. Is it worth it to YOU, Mr. Consumer?....

I'm with you on the MPVO as well. I'm hoping much more comes from more entrants and an MPVO arms race like what took the LPVO and 30x+ ELR market in previous years.

 

[roostercogburn98]

Is it worth it to YOU

The only thing that really ever matters.

IMO

 

[dms416]

The only thing that really ever matters.

IMO

FACT

 

[TacticalPlinker]

So after watching the video review posted above, I'm now seriously considering the ZCO. My reasoning to justify the cost is this --- the only way to make use of only 10x is through superior glass IQ and resolution . I already have the G3 Razor 1-10 , It's a compromise. But for a DMR - The ZCO IMO actually appears to deliver on true precision in a small package. The glass NEEDS to be great to pull that off.

 

[BurtG]

Finally mounted hopefully will actually be able to use it later today

It is so far to me. I’ve tried to at least go look through it when different weather is floating around and so far I’m more happy.

 

[Wysongdog]

It looks solid. Really want to try it on my 375 h&H for Africa. But that’s a lot of scope for that lol

I won’t mention what rifle I have it one then.

If your 375 is a Model 70, that’s no slouch of a rifle, and that kind of sexy deserves something nice sitting on top of it

 

[Wysongdog]

It’s a semi custom sako 85L

do you know if these flip open flat?

I do not. The 210 is going to be my next scope so I've been looking for flip up caps. This is all I've found so far, haven't really dug into the interwebs on it though.

 

[BurtG]

Only zeroes so far so most use at 10x and some dry firing positional , but a big fan so far. Great glass. HTR is great reticle

 

[roostercogburn98]

I got some from Richard when I ordered my scopes. I believe they are Tenebrex, and they work good. I believe they may lay flat as well but don’t recall

 

[oldrifleman]

I got the same ones from Richard. They are Tenebrex. Not sure they fold flat, but that is not one of my decision criteria.
