Agreed!!! The short nature of the current 420 can make it a problem to mount on long actions, but I'd still take a lightweight ZCO420 for short actions. Tangent is coming out with a 4-20, but it sounds like the focus will be on the P series.I would like to see a TT 420M, same size & Weight as the current 315M.

The ZCO 420 fits OK on a LA. I shot mine on my 28N for a while. But swapped over to a S&B PMII 3-20x50 MTC/LT.
But there are definitely some that do not.
NF NX8 2.5-20Ă—50
March FX 4.5-27Ă—52
S&B PMII 5-20x50US and 3-20Ă—50US

A little perspective, and he/they definitely know what they're doing.
To add, the Carl Zeiss Foundation which is the sole shareholder of Schott ag is the source for many/most of the top tier scopes/binoculars, the other being Japan.

I think he was referring to if you were not using a 1 piece or integral rail

You have a full rail which helps a lot. But you don't have any room to slide it back if needed. The 3-20Ă—50US has a LOT more mounting room than the 5-20Ă—50US does.
With split Picatinny rails, they barely fit on some SAs. I had to even swap rings from Seekins to Badger Ordinance when I moved it from a Lone Peak Fuzion to a Defiance AnTi X. The Fuzion has an extra cross slot F/R and a smaller SA ejector port than the AnTi X. And, I had to mill off the front of the Picatinny rail to get the ocular bell to clear. With a full Picatinny rail, would not have been a big deal. But it is definitely something you have to think about.
Everybody wants Tangent Theta optical quality, performance and durability, But no body wants to ( pay to play )

wow, that optics comparison is very eye-opening, to say the least.A little perspective, and he/they definitely know what they're doing.

uugh! leupold and their 35mm tube, wth! always wanted to try but didn't want to go out and buy a bunch of new mounts but you're right, dollar for dollar might be the best for the average joe (which i am rapidly becoming thanks to inflation!)

Leupold, ZCO, and IOR Valada all require different mounts but that is how they create more adjustment.
