ZCO vs March vs ATACR vs TT

[DirtNap35]

What scopes rings are people running with 36mm tubes? I see ZCO has their own scope ring, any experience with ZCO rings?

I use AMR(American Rifle Co.) M10 rings.

I like a little lower mag range than a lot of people for hunting. I like a 3-20, 4-20 type mag range. But I included my list above in order of my preference according to your requests. I did add a couple I feel were missing.

As for the Shuriken turrets, they are just a locking type. Up to you if you want/need locking turrets.

I would add a few S&B PMII in there between ZCO and March.

S&B PMII 3-27×56 Hi-power
S&B PMII 6-26×56 High Performance
S&B PMII 5-45×56 Hi-Power

Lance, what do consider the best low light out of your list ? I'm considering a TT or the S&B

This. ARC M-Brace rings for all my scopes for the last few years.

Over all and durability. I definitely don't want to spend 3-4K on a scope that will lose zero in a truck and according to Rokslide they will.,.. looking for real world experience as the test conducted on Rok is not real world and nobody treats their rifle like that.

Nobody INTENTIONALLY treats their rifles like that, but bad stuff DOES happen. Stuff that passes the Rokslide drop test seem to have a much better chance of holding up to unplanned slips, trips and falls or even riding around in a side by side.

Just some interesting information just reported 2024 data about the high tier scope standings in the PRS arena. While a very different application from LRH, when shooting PRS, IMO, this sport really exposes the mechanical qualities of a scope. In the course of a full day PRS match or two, my scope would get more of a work-out then my hunting scopes would get in a season of hunting…And, equally challenging optical demands in many of the LR target stages. I don't think you could go wrong with any of the top 5 scopes.
I was surprised to see the ZCO climb to the number 1 spot so quickly given the brief period they have been in existence….The high end Leupolds have also done well. As mentioned in my previous post, I think reticle design whether competing or hunting, plays a major role in personal preference in either application.…
