ZCO scopes

I’ve never heard of these guys. Have I been living under a rock?

New to me. I feel like there are alot of smaller companies getting more exposure lately. Tract comes to mind as another example, or at least I hadn't seen much about them until recently.

All the rage on Snipers Hide. They all say the are THE BEST evah.

Tract are rated high as another Japanese made scope from LOW

$3,600, made in Austria, easy to see who their targeted market and competition is

Well, that explains it. I don’t frequent snipers hide.

I had never heard of ZCO until last year when an ELR waffle page I’m in ran one. I talked to a few guys since then, lots of folks rank them above Nightforce ATACR’s, on the plane of Tangent Theta’s and Kahles’. I’ve only looked through one a few times, but it seems that is an apt comparison. There are times when a $1,500 scope can’t see at all through the soup, a $2,500 scope can resolve the edges, and then these $3,500-4,500 scope brands can resolve the entire target through the grossness. Nothing fixes an image warped by mirage, but some of these optics will let you see the swirled image, while others will totally lose it. The difference rarely rears its head for most shooters.

Admittedly, spending more than ATACR money, I’d only buy the Tangent Theta.

ZCO has been around for a few years. Everyone that has one really praises their quality / performance. They rate right up with the Tangent Theta scopes at a slightly lower price.
I'd really like to have one, but don't know how much better it would actually be than my S&B PM II or IOR Recon.

@Nature Boy
I must be under a much bigger rock than you, they are bit over my pay grade so that probably most of it.

Yes you have! I've heard of them and find it odd that the US distributor is in Orofino, ID which is where Nightforce is located. I have to wonder about the relationship between the two companies.

I have an NXS F1, an ATACR, two Vortex RAZOR HD Gen IIs and a couple of Premiers rounding out my "high end" optics but I'd like to try a ZCO to see if they're that much better than what I currently have.

Really? Not even Schmidt & Bender PMII High Power -series or Hensoldt ZF:s? Just checking...
