Zco 420 on long action

[Dirt_Nap]

Thinking about ordering this optic tomorrow. I have a Defiance deviant action with a split rail. I've done the measurements on paper and I can definitely fit it on. Worried about adjusting it though for eye relief. Any zco users that can chime in?
Thinking about the 527 but only gives me .25" longer of a tube.
Here's a pic of the action. Obviously a thinner ring would help

I have heard that ZCO 420’s can be tough to fit on defiance actions with limited rail slots, like the Anti-X and Deviant Hunter. I’ve measured and it looks like it will fit with decent eye relief but hoping others have these actions with a ZCO mounted to confirm. I have XM in Anti-X and long...

I have one on my bat vampire and it's working for me.

I have a zco 420 on an anti la that i could take a few pics of for you after work if wanted. It is for sale.

I'd just make sure you have a backup plan for that 4-20. I couldn't get optimally setup with mine on a long action. Some can get it to work, and others compromise with their setup .

My 5-27 is just enough to fit my long actions with the stocks I'm using.

I'd call Defiance and ask them for advice on setups that work.

I don't know if they still make them or the quality, but they made mounts that moved the scope to the rear.

I have a ZCO 420 on a Defiance Long Action. Obviously, I have a full rail which makes things easier. I would think if you have the correct LOP on your stock, you should be fine.

I would do $3500 shipped conus and insured with rings and flatline level

I've taken rings to a machine shop and had them remove a little bit of the material that was keeping my scope from working, afterward with a few thousands shaved off on the inside the rings the scope fit and it's been working fine for almost 20 years.

You got thicc rings too. I went with ARC M-10 rings to give me some more room. How do you like the optic?

Mine works ok

I'm a big fan of Ted and have ARC rings on every other rifle I own that has a picatinny rail and have a couple of his actions too. I sent a pair of ARC rings along with the scope to Ryan Pierce. He said the rings I sent weren't quite the best height for the setup and talked me into these Hawkins. The scope is awesome, built like a tank and incredibly clear optics.
