    Zco lpvo???

    Am not trying to offend you. Pretty much any other market has made images/vids work to meet user experience/expectations. Hell, it’s easy enough now that scammers are making realistic (but falsified) blackmail/scam vids & pics in minutes, once they have the content required.

    Zco lpvo???

    If your end product looks like a generated image - inputs are messed up, simply user error or combo of both.

    Zco lpvo???

    Basic idea yes. Use real photo + reticle layer, bit of blending and transparency adjustment to adjust to what you actually see.

    Zco lpvo???

    It will, if done properly. The other issues you raised are what I alluded to with opening Pandora’s box.

    Zco lpvo???

    Another option would be to overlay the reticle on top of a photo and adjust as required to get something 99.9% representative of real thing. But doing so would open Pandora’s box on number of other things people could comment about 🫠

    Zco lpvo???

    Personally I love the K16i SM1 reticle, used it a lot on pigs and other fast moving animals from close to fair bit out and bracketing moving targets seems to be more natural and easier. The HTR is right up my alley. Contemplating whether this could replace my K16i… pity can’t try before buy haha

    Rifle Scopes Optic recommendations for hunting and back country

    Wanted to be as close to 20oz for scope as possible with my lr lightweight 280ai (had swaro on it to start and is also used stalking). Nothing set my world on fire and had compromises I wasn’t happy to accept. Ended up with ZCO420 and couldn’t be happier. Yes, it is heavier but you can drop that...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 4-20 or ATACR 4-20 for Hunting Application

    Have the ZCO420 on LR loghtweight hunting 280AI which gets bumped around a bit riding on quads etc. Haven’t had any major bangs yet but no issues with zero shift on the smaller ones either. Glass quality is very very close to swaro Z8 at low light. My eyes are -10.5 prescription so I do notice...

    Rifle Scopes Official Zero Compromise Optic News & Updates

    Optically the ZCO420 I have is as good, if not better the swaro’s, Kahles and Meoptas I own. Have used the 420 up to max mag, even in heavy mirage out to 1Km thus far, soon to be much farther. The 420 does start to darken slightly at max mag/low light but no getting around that tbh no matter...
