Zero Compromise Optic ZC420

Zero Compromise Performance in a Compact Package

The Zero Compromise Optic (ZCO) ZC420 4-20x50 redefines what shooters can expect from a compact precision riflescope. Combining world-class Austrian optics with exceptional mechanical engineering, the ZC420 delivers outstanding long-range performance in an incredibly compact package.

At just 325mm (12.8") long and weighing only 1,036g, the ZC420 offers an ideal balance between portability and capability. Designed for shooters who demand uncompromising optical clarity, sharp tracking and rugged reliability, it delivers the performance expected from Zero Compromise Optic without the bulk traditionally associated with premium long-range optics. Whether you’re competing in Precision Rifle Series (PRS), engaging targets at long ranges or building a lightweight precision rifle, the ZC420 offers exceptional versatility without compromise.

Who is the ZCO ZC420 For?

The Zero Compromise Optic ZC420 is the ultimate hybrid optic, purpose-built for shooters who refuse to sacrifice optical clarity for a compact footprint. Measuring just 325mm (12.8") and weighing 1,036g, it is exceptionally compact, making it the perfect pairing for precision bolt-action rifles fitted with thermal or night vision clip-on devices by leaving valuable rail space available.

It is highly favoured by UK Precision Rifle Series (PRS) competitors, tactical shooters and long-range enthusiasts who require rapid target acquisition at close range (4x) while retaining the ability to engage targets at extreme distances (20x), supported by an impressive 35 MRAD of internal elevation travel.

Key Features

• 36mm Main Tube – Built around an exceptionally strong 36mm main tube, providing outstanding structural durability alongside an impressive 35 MRAD (120 MOA) of elevation adjustment for extreme long-range shooting.
• First Focal Plane (FFP) Reticles – Available with MPCT1X, MPCT2X and Tremor3 reticles, ensuring holdovers, ranging and wind corrections remain accurate throughout the entire 4-20x magnification range.
• AIM (Automatic Illumination Management) – An intelligent illumination system that automatically powers down after two minutes of inactivity or when the rifle is tilted beyond normal shooting angles, instantly reactivating when returned to the shooting position to maximise battery life.
• Premium Austrian Glass – Delivering an outstanding 92% light transmission, exceptional colour fidelity and remarkable edge-to-edge resolution, the 50mm objective lens rivals and frequently surpasses larger 56mm optics in challenging low illumination conditions.
• Exceptional Mechanical Precision – Renowned ZCO tracking accuracy, repeatable turret adjustments and dependable return-to-zero performance provide complete confidence when every shot matters.

Compact Size. Exceptional Capability.

The ZC420 proves that compact dimensions do not mean compromised performance. Its lower 4x starting magnification provides a generous field of view for engaging closer targets quickly, while the 20x upper magnification offers the accuracy required to identify and engage faraway targets confidently.

The scope boasts an impressive 35 MRAD of elevation adjustment—an exceptional figure for an optic of this size—making it more than capable of supporting demanding long-range and extreme long-range applications.

For rifles where available rail space is at a premium, particularly those using clip-on thermal or night vision devices, the ZC420 provides an ideal solution without sacrificing optical performance or adjustment range.

Industry-Leading Optical Performance

Zero Compromise Optic has established a reputation for producing some of the finest riflescope optics available, and the ZC420 is no exception.

Its state-of-the-art optical system delivers outstanding resolution, exceptional contrast and true-to-life colour reproduction throughout the entire magnification range. With an impressive 92% light transmission, shooters benefit from brighter, sharper images during the critical dawn and dusk periods when target identification becomes increasingly challenging.

Combined with outstanding edge-to-edge definition and minimal optical distortion, the ZC420 defines a new benchmark for compact precision riflescopes, providing a viewing experience typically reserved for significantly larger optics.

Built Without Compromise

Every element of the ZCO ZC420 has been developed with precision shooters in mind. From its tough 36mm tube and intelligent illumination system to its outstanding optical clarity plus unrivalled mechanical reliability, this riflescope illustrates Zero Compromise Optic’s devotion to excellence.
