Iv not long sold my March the eye box really is terrible at high zoom great glass very robust amazing positive clicks nice low profile turrets made it an easy choice for my hunting rifle but the eye box out weighed the good and off it went the parallax is also a pain in hunting situations

Curious to know, which March were you running?

Didn't the zco 420 miserably fail the heck out of Form's field testing?

It was never determined whether it was a scope or ring issue, since the rings had very weak torque specs and he said before the test even began that the rings wouldn't hold. So the jury is out for now.

iv went through 2 kahles k318i, there junk.
amazing glass, very good tracking, but 1 bump she's going back to Austria to get fixed.
I switched to a 4-16x42 ATACR.
if ZCO is in your budget id grab one.
could also look at the new S&B PM2 ultrashort

Which reticle did you end up going with for your 4-16x42?

 

[doc holiday13]

My scope is heavy. Its a US Optics. Wanna says its like 40oz.. but because I'm using a suppressor it adds weight to mitigate recoil. I could go with a muzzle brake but I have enough tinnitus for everyone in this thread

I went through a similar decision cycle and ended up selecting the ATACR 4-16x42 F1 MOAR.

What’s your weight with mag but no can?

 

[LFC911]

I went with the Vortex Razor HD LHT FFP 4.5-22x50 MRAD Rifle Scope on my CA 7PRC and happy with it so far. The "budget" FFP scope comes in at 1lb-5.2oz

Total
Weight without can? I have the same build but went with NXS 2.5-10x to save weight.

Crazy. Can you provide build specs? That’s lighter than mine with the NXS.

I'll send a DM so we don't derail...

I’d estimate around #8.5. Haven’t weighed it in that config.

Nightforce or zco. Problem solved forever.

It's around 10 pounds, as pictured, with ammo and ready to shoot. It's heavier than I wanted originally but the weight does help me watch trace and splash.

I have a ZCO 4-20. Great Scope. Also an ATACR 4-16. The ZCO has a noticeably better view. The ZCO is on my 300 WIN and will stay there likely. I'm always at 10 pounds. I need my stuff to take some abuse. I don't intentionally do it but I go hard with stuff. Also, I like a 10 pound rifle past 600 yards. It's heavy until you get behind it
