I'm excited about this one.

I'm excited about this one.

Indeed...

[Kwikvette]

Is this supposed to compete with;

Steiner? March? Nightforce (which series)? Vortex (which series)? S&B?

I'm all about paying for premium glass, but not a lot of us have access to newly-released scopes unless we buy one outright to try first.

Yes. However, Jeff Huber who's worked with Nightforce and Kahles is behind this product, so the expectations are high. These scopes pretty much offer every feature I'm looking for in a scope in this category. In addition, unlike Tangent Theta they seem willing to consider reticle choice input from customers though I personally think their initial offerings are fantastic, especially the non-Christmas tree one with .2 Mil hash marks.

So
What's the price?

[Ki6vsm]

36mm rings/mounts aren't very common, are they? The prices I'm seeing are petty high out there. Just something to factor in.

[bug_eyedmonster]

Interested in the 4-20x50 with MPCT1 reticle depending on price. What timing, just getting ready for a new rifle build too!

So
What's the price?

I suspect it will be in the range of - "if you have to ask you can't afford it"... Or pretty close.

"you" in general, not you GW.

... If you're going to go non-standard, at least go 40mm tubes so it can share rings with IOR Valdada. Dafuq is 36mm!? SMH...

[CSTactical]

I agree...

I trust the decisions of the people involved in this project

Many questions answered by a key ZCO guy on these scopes over on the hide yesterday:

https://forum.snipershide.com/threads/z-comp-optics-heard-of-them-shot-booth-n451.6868451/page-7#post-6881470

1. Where are these made? We have our very own ZCO office and manufacturing facility in Austria. We have absolutely no relation or partnership with any other company. We stand alone, our very own company making our own parts on our own machinery. Individual parts and pieces including lenses from Schott are hand assembled in Orofino, ID.

2. Yes, Jeff Huber is the main person in charge with ZCO. Yes, he has extensive experience at NF and he and I together worked extremely hard as the importer/distributor for Kahles from about 2012 to the end of 2016. It was during those four years that the K624i underwent some significant changes as well as increased popularity especially within the PRS community. A large portion of that was due to the contacts we made and the hard work of our team partners and shooters. In short, we have a lot of industry insight and a massive amount of knowledge of what it takes to build a high end precision rifle scope as well as establish a new company in this industry specifically. We are using that knowledge to build what we believe will be the finest rifle scope, and this is our own company so we have the capability to adapt as needed.

3. Scope rings and mounts are readily available from American Rifle Company and Spuhr right now. Several other ring manufacturers are very likely to be producing 36mm rings in the near future.

4. Please read our web site on why we went with 36mm tube size: http://www.zcompoptic.com/construction-qualtiy.html

Much of our optical design does reside internally with larger lens elements. This does allow us to utilize the entire amount of elevation and windage travel without having that blurry aspect near the edge of the FOV at max adjustment or when zoomed out. We didn't want to "compromise" optical quality to provide mechanical range of adjustment and quality. We also didn't want to compromise mechanical system to provide excellent optical quality throughout the entire adjustment range.

5. At this time, we do NOT expect to have our prices near $4000 but much closer to the $3000 point. Please understand, we still have some finishing work to do on the scopes until we can completely finalize the pricing.

6. Availability is currently anticipated to be around June when we should be shipping out to our dealers. The scopes will undergo an extremely thorough battery of tests prior to releasing them.

7. We plan to only take on about 15-20 dealers throughout the country right now. Maybe 25 at the most. We will obviously have limited production quantity, we are still a small company trying to grow. We want to fulfill orders but product quality will NOT be sacrificed in order to get scopes shipped out. Keeping a minimum number of dealers is the best way for us to work with them and get products shipped out in sufficient quantities.

8. Yes, we will have a scope or two sent out to Frank as soon as possible. We also have a few other key evaluators in mind who have already shown high quality non-biased reviews. Please stand by for the reviews from sources you trust.

9. Please refer to our web site on warranty. Also take into account the people and their track history for producing top quality products and their results in the rifle scope industry. http://www.zcompoptic.com/warranty.html
