    $1000 zero stop scope.

    I've been looking at getting 2 or 3 zero stop scopes for new rifles here in Australia, bloody hard to find what has or hasn't got the zero stop I've come to the conclusion that if they don't state it it hasn't got it, so for around a $1000 in the 3-15 range I can only find the Burris HD and Lupy VX3HD.

    Would appreciate knowing if there were any others I've missed, with Cameralandny and Natchez not exporting looks like I'll have to buy local.

    Cheers

    My leupy vx3i has zero stop but chances of finding one new would be slim to non existent as they have been replaced with the 3hd .
    Perhaps you can find a good 2nd hand one and save a few dollars ?

    They've responded to feedback, now have a far less cluttered reticle, the turrets and zero stop are pretty good.

    Could try this at The optic Zone
    https://athlonoptics.com/product/midas-tac-4-16x44-mil/
    they currently have 11% off coupon running or you may well be able to source in Australia for reasonable money

    Or depending on how your dollar is you could try something like this , diect from the maker

    I have a vx3i - can you add the zero stop yourself? If so, how?

    If your vx3i has the cds turret turret ( in Moa) , when you order the custom cds turret with your ballistics you will receive your custom dial with a zero stop.
    If you haven't got a cds turret on your scope, you will have to send it to the importer or through your local gunshop to get a cds system install. Very easy procedure. It will cost you a few hundred dollars ( check the price though).

    Thats good, because the original reticle was very cluttered.
    I have a Helix 6-24 with a MOA hash reticle which works well. Its not a bad 'scope for the money. The turrets and clicks are excellent.

    Im picking that the 4-16 will be quite good if the ret is ok.

    They have a clean and dirty reticle, now.

    I'm happy with the dirty, as I have the same reticle on the element Titan on my 7mmcreedwhore ��

    A few ZeroTech scopes with zero stop for under AU$1000 in Oz.

    Chinese made but imported by an offshoot of Tasco Sales Australia which is a 50 yr company... so lifetime warranty should be solid.
    A good job and a good wife has been the ruin of many a good hunter.

    The name "Zerotech" doesn't exactly inspire confidence..

    The Tract scopes look the go I think, the long range 4-16 Tekoa for $700 with schott glass, zero stop, inch tube and under 20 ounces look good value.
