Are you going north any time soon?

Not by choice.

Mine's boxed back up. What are we doing next?

I emailed Blaser. My experience and feeling about the reticle is if they can fix it to function correctly, this is still the best killing scope I’ve ever seen.

Thanks for checking.

It seems like the repair shop is about to get swamped if they even have the capacity to fix these.

It was 4-5 months turnaround for the guy in this thread that that reported he had the same issue in the past. That's a kick in the pants.

Do you think this would mean more kills than say a Maven,SWFA or NF? The size and weight penalty seems extreme. I can not think of a scenario where I missed out on an animal because the reticle was so bad it was unusable.

@EuroOptic I think we are going to need your help going to bat for us with Blaser on fixing these, otherwise you’re probably going to have quite a few returns…

Any help would be appreciated, because I think we all really want to use the hell out of these.

Well poo. You mean I can’t give the nerds swirlies for not being able to focus a scope….


That does suck.

I was talking about this with @Gstew1930 and no unfortunately we can’t do that anymore….

I’ve been following this thread and I’m so bummed for yall. That’s a shockingly high failure rate out of the box for something you paid quite a bit for.

Agreed, I've owned multiple ZP5s without any problems. Is anyone having problems with non-THLR reticle scopes?

Agreed, I've been one click away from getting this scope for years. I plan on dying with this thing.
