Finally had time to sit down and think a bit after the Brawl. I got part of my order from Zero Compromise on Wednesday before the Brawl, just recently signup with them to be a dealer. Mounted the scope on my AX in a Spuhr mount. Was able to finish loading, chrony and sight in, zero the turrets just in time for the match. Day 1 of the Brawl started off with a lite drizzle and intense fog. So bad the tower stages were closed for the earlier part of the day. Seeing a 400yd target with your eyes was hard to impossible. So we went to a couple other stages to start the day. Then the tower opened....we ran to the tower to take advantage of the very light winds. We climb the tower and start position are rifles to do the reverse frustration ladder, you start at 1000yds and work your way down to 300yds. Any miss at any distance requires you to g back to 1000, must hit ti move on. We all lay down and start looking at the first target, i hear several say "i cant see the target". I could see the target fairly clear, of course with a haze from the fog, the dirt area was visible as well. And again i hear a few say " i cant see the target", we joke, I turn around and the spotter/RO shrugged his shoulders in agreeance. So the first shooter is called to get ready. He sends his first shot, its .2 off the left edge, i call, he corrects, IMPACT. The next target is at 900, he sends the first, I call IMPACT, goes to 800, miss off the left edge, back to 1000, hits center of target, i call IMPACT, hits 900, IMPACT, then time runs out with 2 hits. RO asked "how in the hell are you able to see the misses?". I tell him its actually fairly clear except for the fog, but still visible. The RO is using 20-60 spotter, maybe its in to tight and only seeing the fog or maybe focus was out of adjustment, but I was easily able to spot impacts and misses in the dirt.
The rest of the match was just as fun, I had no trouble seeing all the targets, now hitting everything was all on me, I did better then i thought, not what i expected but saw where I needed to improve.....movers. The scope tracked perfect and I am not delicate with my tools, zero held great as I just checked it today. I tried dialing wind on a few single target stages and i was impressed at how easy yet firm the turrets were. I heard of another shooter that rubbed his scope (not a ZCO) prior to a stage on his sling that caused the dialed windage to be off by 2/10. I was impressed with the glass, I loved the turrets, loved the locking and that reticle is the best I've seen in a while. Parallax shined when we had that B&T one shot at 43yds and i was able to use full 27x. The throw lever on the magnification ring was just the right size to help but not be in the way. I'm truly impressed with all the features on this scope, Nothing comes close.
I've owned almost every type of scope, from Premier back in the day to my most recent 3-27 Schmidt. Zero Compromise is here to stay, next i'll run it on my Vudoo for the Texas State 22LR Championships.
