Arken Zulus ZHD520R 0MOA & 35MOA rails -explained

Here in pt.2-of-2 of this Zulus accessories review I explain the difference between the 0MOA and 35MOA scope mount, and where each is best used. I show where my 30m reticle was on screen (Y+241) with the 35MOA rail on my Krait -which already has 20MOA in its raiser rail.
Then having swapped for the 0MOA mount, you see the reticle zeroed @ X=+38, Y= -7. Perfectly central.
Contents:
00:15 Introduction, then explaining the 0MOA / 35MOA mounts are available for these excellent Zulus scopes.
03:33 Explaining shimming and the firmware update that enabled ‘auto-centering when zoomed’.
04:33 Me zeroed @30m with the 0MOA mount - perfectly centred.
05:00 Billy then Bruce demonstrating being zeroed (22LR) @50yards on an outdoor private rifle range, then showing how far out that calibre was using the 0MOA rail.
09:38 My summary of our results.
10:22 Explaining when the Eaglevision 108MOA rail may be ideal.
11:10 Looking forward to the British Shooting Show.
11:49 Coming soon.
Bruce’s own notes following the range session included in this video, can be found here, in his post on one of the Arken Zulus threads on the AGF: airgunforums.co.uk/threads/ar...
The AGF (AirgunForums.co.uk) thread I started with a poll, to gauge viewer’s interest in the 940nm pill option (which I’ve brought to Arken Optics’ attention, as they perhaps hadn’t appreciated how popular this option is with us hunters), is here: airgunforums.co.uk/threads/ar...

    A proper eye opener this video, thanks. I take it that, if you are shooting something a lot flatter, i.e 17HMR or a centre-fire calibre, you shouldn't have the same issues?

    Our pleasure, thanks for watching -please share to help spread the word. I would hope something flatter-shooting wouldn't need such MOA compensation, certainly no more than 20MOA. There's an active (huge) Zulus thread on the AGF discussing these scopes, definitely the place to ask... airgunforums.co.uk/threads/arken-zulus-user-experiences.71841/ Happy shooting, cheers. Russ

    Would love to see the video that demonstrates the VCSEL IR. My understanding is that the IR beam size is adjustable. So I am curious to see how small beam it can narrow to and how far it can reach.

    A question for you? Is there any deviation in long distance shooting between 0 Mao foot and 35 Mao foot? No protractor in sight tonight. Doesn't the baristic program show the point of impact incorrectly?

    I have the 35moa mount. I'm thinking the 20 moa mount would be better. The 35 moa is on the limit of adjustment for my 22 but perfect for my .177 HW97. The 0 moa might be too much for the .177.

    That depends on your calibre and power level. .177" FAC air I'd say 0MOA. .22LR subsonic I'd say 35MOA, as-per Billy & Bruce's findings. Thanks for watching, cheers. Russ

    What subs was Bruce using to get a 17" drop at 50yds with the flat mount? Looks like CCI subsonics from the video, but with those the drop should only be around 8" allowing for about 4.6" of drop plus scope height of around 3.5" totaling ~ 8" total.

    The purpose of the video was to show the difference in point of impact on an already zeroed rifle when the mount was changed from 35moa to 0 moa The rifle was originally zeroed at 50 yards using CCI subsonic ammo and then the mount was changed from 35moa to 0 moa and the rifle aimed at the same target, and using the same ammunition as was used to zero with the 35moa mount. Since 1 moa is very, very close to one inch at 100 yards, 35moa at 100 yards would be 35 inches and at 50 yards it would be 17.5 inches So, simple maths says that with the rifle zeroed at 50 yards on a 35moa mount, changing the mount to 0moa should drop the point of impact by 17.5 inches When we did the experiment the point of impact dropped by around 18.75 inches which, IMHO is good enough agreement with what was expected

    Thanks Bruce, that makes sense. I forgot to allow for it being zeroed on the 35 mount, which I'm guessing resulted in the reticle being above centreline a bit, which would then lower the barrel even further when changing to the zero moa mount but still using the same zero co-ordinates. I've been trying to work out a formula to calculate how much MOA would be required in a mount for the zulus based on scope height and ballistics, to get the reticle perfectly centred in the y direction. Still working on that... should be possible but not sure my brain is up to the task.@@brucemcpherson8832

    On the 5-20 Zulus, each "click" moves the reticle by one pixel and if you crunch the numbers based on the vertical field of view and the number of pixels, then one "click" moves the reticle by 0.1426moa.

    Hi Dave, which mount do you have, 35MOA or 0MOA, and is your rifle rail level or inclined? Up to you -whether you keep it as-is (shimmed between the rear of the mount and scope to lift the reticle into the centre), plus the updated firmware will centre the reticle when zoomed above base mag'. Or fit the mount that better centres your reticle at base mag. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks for watching, cheers. Russ

    It doesn't, that doesn't affect the BCL at all. The MOA inclination (declination) of the scope mounting rail helps determine how high/low/central the reticle is, i.e. whether or not the zeroed reticle is in the middle of the display. Thanks for watching, cheers. Russ
