    Kahles vz ZCO

    When there is a lot of noise made by very few and they struggle to clearly describe what, how or even answer basic questions regarding their “failed” scopes, does it surprise you people are not inclined to believe or heavily question what is being sprouted… Add to that when individuals have many...

    Best Premium Hunting Scope

    If it is only to 550yards, just get a swaro z6 or z8 with BRXi or BRH reticle. Very light with excellent low light performance and no need to dial. From someone who has swaros and ZCO420 for hunting. If you were going out a fair bit further, would push more towards ZCO or TT.

    Arken EP5 7- 35 .. Standing in for some Alpha Glass

    1) Or you could provide figures and let people decide for themselves. 2) And attempt to get to the bottom of whether your failure rates are indicative of a larger norm, or due to something particular to your situation.

    Arken EP5 7- 35 .. Standing in for some Alpha Glass

    Instead of being vague, why not share some of these figures? Would help people somewhat make a calculated decision when buying. Surely large overseas dealers would be aware of this high rate of return and stop recommending them as reputation smears to them, as well as the manufacturer?

    Arken EP5 7- 35 .. Standing in for some Alpha Glass

    What I meant is exact numbers of failed scopes vs same model/brand you own. Claimed warranty cost is usually higher then the margin on actual products, so what I am trying to work out is if failure rates you are seeing are the norm, these company’s would be in net loss position for those...

    Arken EP5 7- 35 .. Standing in for some Alpha Glass

    Considering the amount of issues with scopes you unfortunately have. What are the failure rates of different brands/models? Be interesting to have a thread for those with multiples of each scope to get a gauge of potential rates across different types of firearms.

    New Kahles K328i

    Makes you wonder if they built it knowing it was a compromise in a number of areas but yet showcasing a heap of improvements in others. Almost like a loss leader prototype before the improvements get incorporated into future models.

    Rifle Scopes ZCO vs TT regarding reliability and known issues (if any)

    As per required under Australian consumer law. Stop beating around the bush and insinuating things by careful wording. Either come out and say something clearly or shut up.

    Rifle Scopes ZCO vs TT regarding reliability and known issues (if any)

    No issues with you stating what you experienced. But what about sharing the customer service you experienced as well. Edited to fix spelling. Fuck autocorrect

    Barrel Profile: Heavy for Hunters

    Hey mate, I built a 280AI specifically as long range (hike in) hunting rig with a 26” CMC/howa sporter profile tube. It was a little more finicky to get dialled in with loads, but wouldn’t change it for a heavier profile barrel. Have also shot it offhand a few times at running animals while...

    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.
  18. P

    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
