Zero Compromise Optic ZC 420H

Precision Hunting Optics Without Compromise

The Zero Compromise Optic ZC420H 4-20x50 builds upon the proven success of the original ZC420, delivering the same uncompromising optical performance and mechanical precision in a lighter, slimmer and more hunting-focused platform. Specifically engineered for hunters who demand absolute reliability in the field, the ZC420H retains ZCO's renowned 36mm main tube while reducing overall weight to create a riflescope that's perfectly suited to challenging hunting environments.

Designed for those who spend long days stalking across hills, mountains and open countryside, the ZC420H offers the ideal balance of strength, portability and precision. Its streamlined profile improves rifle handling and ergonomics without sacrificing the outstanding optical clarity, repeatable turret tracking and rugged durability that have made Zero Compromise Optic one of the most respected names in premium riflescopes.

Whether you're hunting in dense woodland, across open moorland or taking longer shots from elevated positions, the ZC420H delivers exceptional confidence when every opportunity counts.

Built for the Modern Hunter

The ZCO ZC420H has been purpose-built for hunters who require the versatility to engage quarry across a wide range of distances without carrying unnecessary weight. Its 4-20x magnification range offers rapid target acquisition at lower magnification while providing the precision needed for longer-range shooting when conditions allow.

The compact, lightweight design makes it particularly well suited to mountain hunting, woodland stalking, high-seat hunting and open-country pursuits, where comfort, balance and reliability are just as important as optical performance. Combined with premium Austrian engineering and exceptional low-light capability, the ZC420H is a true all-round hunting optic

Key Features

• Hunting-Specific Turret Design – Unlike the larger tactical turrets found on precision riflescopes, the ZC Hunter features low-profile hunting turrets. The capped windage turret prevents accidental adjustment in the field, while the precision elevation turret provides clear, repeatable adjustments for longer-range shots.
• Purpose-Built Hunting Reticles – Available with specialised First Focal Plane (FFP) reticles including the KP1 and MHR, providing a clean, uncluttered sight picture for observing game while incorporating practical elevation and windage references for longer-distance shooting.
• Exceptional Low-Light Performance – Combining premium European ED glass, a 50mm objective lens and an outstanding 92% light transmission, the ZC Hunter delivers remarkable brightness and contrast, helping hunters identify game confidently during the crucial first and last moments of legal shooting light.
• Robust 36mm Main Tube – Built around Zero Compromise Optic’s renowned 36mm main tube, the ZC Hunter offers an impressive 35 MRAD of internal elevation adjustment alongside exceptional mechanical reliability aimed at precise long-range shooting in rigorous conditions.

Outstanding Optical Performance

Every ZCO Hunter is built around an advanced optical system that delivers exceptional colour fidelity, edge-to-edge sharpness and outstanding resolution. The combination of premium European ED glass and advanced lens coatings produces bright, high-contrast images that minimise eye fatigue throughout extended periods behind the scope.

Whether hunting in bright daylight or challenging twilight conditions, the ZC Hunter maintains outstanding image quality and target definition, providing hunters with the confidence to make ethical shooting decisions.

Available Reticle Options

MPCT1X Reticle

The MPCT1X (Multi-Purpose Competition & Tactical) reticle is designed for shooters who require a clean sight picture combined with precise holdover capability. Offering an uncluttered central aiming area with intuitive elevation and windage references, it is ideal for long-range hunting and precision shooting where speed and accuracy are equally important. Its First Focal Plane (FFP) design assures all subtensions remain accurate throughout the entire magnification range.

MPCT2X Reticle

The MPCT2X builds upon the success of the MPCT1X by providing additional wind hold references and a more extensive grid beneath the centre aiming point. This makes it a prime selection for hunters and long-range shooters who regularly encounter challenging wind conditions or engage targets at varying distances. The enhanced layout allows for faster corrections whilst maintaining a clear view of the target.

MPCT3X Reticle

The MPCT3X is the most advanced competition-inspired reticle in the ZC420H range. Designed for experienced precision shooters, it incorporates an expanded holdover grid and refined windage references for rapid corrections without dialling. Despite its comprehensive layout, the reticle maintains excellent visibility, keeping it suitable for both precision hunting and long-range field shooting where quick follow-up shots may be required.

MOA Reticle

For shooters who prefer working in Minutes of Angle (MOA), the ZC420H is available with a dedicated First Focal Plane MOA reticle. Featuring clearly defined MOA subtensions for accurate ranging, holdovers and wind corrections, it delivers the same exceptional optical performance and precision expected from Zero Compromise Optic while targeting shooters who favour the MOA adjustment system.

M1H Reticle

The M1H is a hunting-specific First Focal Plane reticle developed for hunters who value simplicity, accuracy and precision. Its clean upper sight picture provides an unobstructed view of the target, while subtle elevation and windage references below the centre crosshair allow for confident holdover shots when required. Perfectly suited to stalking, mountain hunting and open-country shooting, the M1H combines intuitive aiming with the accuracy expected from a premium hunting riflescope.
