yep, I do the same thing, no problems. Also, that’s exactly what the manual tells users to do.

The “make sure the turret is aligned” and “make sure the turret pushes down into one of the available locking notches” combination is hard to get exactly right, and on my scope in particular it catches slightly, 100% of the time. I’ve been through the procedure 8 or 9 times now, even with the loosen-tighten procedure after locking the turret again. Not saying there’s 0% chance I’m doing something wrong, or there isn’t a piece of dust somewhere, but that’s what’s happening and while I recognize I don’t know everything going on in there in the design, it strikes me as a opportunity for improvement.
It would be much nicer if the procedure were “zero scope, leave turret locked, unscrew outer turret case, align zero (or lift - align - lock), screw outer turret case”. Right now there are 2 separate mechanisms that must be aligned - detent to the inner turret mechanism, lock to the outer turret case - and unfortunately they can’t be aligned separately before the inner and outer turret are locked together.

Oh I have no doubt they would - as I mentioned in my initial post, it’s the one little nitpick, and it doesn’t actually prevent me from doing anything I need to do. It’s more of a hassle to remove and ship the scope than it’d be worth.
CS Tactical will also be a stocking dealer of NLE ZCO's and/or can special order them for our customers.

Huh? Where you getting that from?
Not finding how to make it English on my phone, but here are their scope brands: https://ruag-ammotec.at/de/produktkatalog/optiken/
What’s the expected turnaround time?
Oh sorry I meant for sending the scope back for turret rework, if you happen to know.Depends on the reticle but an M3X could be as soon as next week
RUAG is a distributor. We are not owned by them at all.
Ok Cool! Forgive for making an assumption. Thanks for the reply, and keep making an awesome product!
My 420 M3X NLE is being built this week, replacing my 420 MPCT2
Well, I just bought my Christmas Present from CS Tactical. I went with the ZCO 527 MPACT3x, SPUHR 20MOA Rail and Tenebraex Scope Caps. I just keep reading, and hearing, how great the ZCO is. I had to pull the triggerDepends on the reticle but an M3X could be as soon as next week
Shut out to Richard, at CS Tactical, what a great guy! The customer service is GREAT, and Richard makes sure to take care of you!!! If your going to buy a scope, give Richard a call and buy from CS Tactical!

I just arrived home from work and opened the email from CS Tactical that my ZCO 527 MPACT3x and accessories were mailed out, OVERNIGHTED, this morning!!! It’s scheduled to be here tomorrow!
Thank you Richard, and CS Tactical!
Thank you Richard, and CS Tactical!
Received my package this A.M. I compared the ZCO 5x27 glass to my NF BEAST glass, and I still can’t believe the clarity differences between the ZCO and NF. The ZCO is in a different class!! Also, the mechanics, the look and the feel of the turrets, parallax, diopter and focus adjustments of the ZCO, top notch!!! If you guys are thinking of getting a ZCO, buy it now if you can, don’t wait.
Thank you Richard, and CS Tactical!
Thank you Richard, and CS Tactical!
It's really hard to explain this on a forum or through the internet. When I show a ZCO to someone in person, it's a guaranteed "sell all my shit" to get a ZCO movement.
Well, gotta dress up the barreled action you guys gave me.... soon.... ;-)
Your not kidding brotha!! When I looked though my ZCO 527 today, I could not believe the difference!! I’m wanting to buy the ZCO 420 too, but I need to save some money or try to sell my other scope
Oh, did I forget to mention those are some pretty nice matching ZCO’s as well. I’m thinking of picking up the ZCO 420 too
I just got the 527. I love the 420. I bought the 5-27 cause it was a deal on here lol. There’s a couple mpct3s for $3400 from @SniperBro someone should jump on themOh, did I forget to mention those are some pretty nice matching ZCO’s as well. I’m thinking of picking up the ZCO 420 too
Another awesome build from @NiteQwill

sold the 420 MPCT2 and just got around to mounting my new 420 3X NLE on my 300N Blaser R8
many thanks to CS and Richard for outstanding customer service!

I haven’t gotten the MPCT3x out on a gun yet but comparing it to the MPCT2 I think it’s a winner. Really excited to get it mounted up, I just don’t currently have a rifle for it.
Plus the boss made me a pretty slick mount…

Shot in the dark...
I was shooting first time in 2 month´s.
I had a hand surger last month, and my hand was total 5 weeks in cast, 2 finger were not moving at all.
The week before last, the steel rods were removed from the hand and that cast.
So on last saturday i drove to the sand pit to test a new product that i had.
Bench rest front rest by Osuma products from Finland.
Never used this type of rest before, so it was king of testing the rest, and also see, how can i use my hand on shooting.
Pinky has a rotation problems, it is trying to get over the ring finger, rehab still going on, but it wont looking good.
But the point now, the ZCO scope i was able to shooting on the darkening evening, as you see on the video, it is getting darkening more and more, when the time goes on.
But i still manage to shoot 2 nice groups with my old 260rem, that has been shot a lot thru that barrel.

. One of the videos from today.
I don’t know what that means.RHF
Damn, totally went over my head.
Two days before that picture was taken half a bottle of Elmer was sitting beside the Rock Hill but a friend came over and we killed it. Next to be opened is Blanton’s Gold.
Customers have been asking for an MOA model scope from Zero Compromise Optic more and more recently. We are very happy to bring this model to our customers! The elevation turret has 30 MOA per turn and 1/4 MOA click values. Our reticle is nicely balanced and gives an excellent presentation with a clean design having numbers every 6 MOA for fast identification of the correct hold point.
We'll have the MOA version of the ZC420 available in a few months from now, possibly sooner.
Check out the pictures of this new model scope and some through the scope pictures of the reticle at different magnifications. As always, we enjoy hearing from you and we are looking forward to hearing your thoughts. These models will be shipping out to dealers in the VERY near future!
