Rifle Scopes Zero Compromise Mpct2 (updated turrets) vs Mpct1 (first batch)

[Dthomas3523]

Gonna make this brief as its not really consequential.

Updated turrets are a bit stiffer and more tactile. When holding the two optics side by side, I prefer the updated turrets.

However, when behind the rifle, the first batch turrets are “faster” and both stop on .1 marks without issue.

I’ll probably keep the original and the updated without asking zcomp to change anything as I like them both.

My updated turret has exactly .5 below zero on stop and my original has .4 (almost .45). Not a huge issue, but I’d prefer .5 across the board.

Mpct1 vs Mpct2 reticles:

Pick your poison. I prefer non tree reticles as I like the open FoV. But when you need a tree (your really don’t most of the time), it’s nice to have.

The mpct2 for my eyes is the least obtrusive reticle that has .2 throughout the entire reticle. This is likely a personal perception and I cannot back this up with an actual percentage of the fov it takes up.

For me, the mpct1 and Mpct2 are the perfect reticles without and with trees respectively.


Like I said, this is pretty inconsequential, but people have been asking.

Oh, and also, set the diopter as per zcomp’s manual. With the magnification on the lowest setting.

I can read the reticle at 5x well enough to use the main windage .2’s when setup this way. And zero issue with reticle at 27x.

Hmm thought i read on highest magnif?

Eye relief maximum, diopter minimum.

What size hex key are the turret screws?

Thanks

I was under this understanding as well, but at max power everything is visible. ZCO said at lowest power so that when you zoom in it’s ultra clear. I redid a few others scopes and holy smokes did they get clearer.

You can’t use a FFP on lowest magnification so what’s the point

If you're over 50, there's a lot of truth to that.
Given a choice of having my youthful hearing or eyesight, I'd take the eyesight in a heart beat.
