Photo Of The Day – The photo and story seemed worth sharing for anyone with the slightest interest in firearms and optics, as Zero Compromise Optic visited B.E. Meyers & Company, Inc.
I cannot really recognize the optic on the wooden stock rifle. Is it perhaps an old Hensoldt? The optic on the more modern bolt-action rifle from Deviant Tactical is easier to identify and also runs a clip-on thermal.
In Zero Compromise’s own words:

We’d like to take a few moments to quickly relay why Zero Compromise Optic uses a 36mm main tube on our products. To do that, however, we need to first take a short historical look at the evolution of modern tactical/competition rifle scopes. Decades ago, one inch tube body rifle scopes were the primarily used main tube design in long range rifle scope optics, as larger options were not readily available. Then along came 30mm main tubes, followed shortly thereafter by 34mm, 35mm, etc. By implementing a larger main tube, more internal space is provided to contain critical internal components of the erector system and adjustment mechanisms for parallax and sight adjustments. Companies worldwide realized the potential for improvements possible in rifle scope technology with this increased space, such as better optical performance and total overall adjustment travel. Our 36mm main tube is an evolutionary step forward in rifle scopes and use of more modern optical design and engineering.
Ultimately, we use a larger main tube to accomplish our mission of engineering superior optical and mechanical performance into our products. Working with our design teams to maximize these benefits, other areas of improvement were also realized. We could use larger internal lens elements in the erector system which gave us numerous optical improvements. One of those improvements was also the ability to be at the extreme ends of adjustment travel, while still maintaining a crisp sight picture. Our depth of field with the parallax system was enhanced as well, while still providing an exceptional adjustment range in elevation and windage. Of course, this is a very simplified summary of the benefits from using a 36mm tube in our design. That all said, providing a superior product for our customers has been and always will be the ultimate end goal, and our design continues to deliver on that uncompromising goal to build the best rifle scopes in the world.
Lastly, thank you to Matt and his crew over at B.E. Meyers & Company, Inc. for letting us have quick access to their historic firearms for a comparison shot. Thanks guys!
