Hey everyone
Just purchased a Tikka t3x 7mmRM and I have a Zeiss HD5 Conquest 5-25x50 (RZ100) that I puchased off trade me that was under a year old and had all the papers etc and warrenty. The gun shot exceptional (.5 MOA) but the scope would not track for the life of it but it would hold it's zero.Has anyone had that issue? Who is the Zeiss supplier in NZ? Any suggestions?

But they may just ask you to take it to your local shop to send to them. Last scope I sent them took a while to make the trip to Germany and back but came back with quite a comprehensive service sheet.
I sent an HD5 straight back to the factory in Germany about a year ago. Got the details off their web site. Filled in a web-form. Put my details and what I wanted in the box and posted it. In a few weeks I got my refurbished scope back. I sent it because it had dust on the reticle.
If you do it keep email proof of your transactions with Zeiss about the repairs as proof. Otherwise you will have to pay GST on it coming back into NZ. Customs rang me wanting the evidence, which I had.
Thanks mate, just sent an email to them. I am rapped with the scope but just doesn't track. The gun is a beauty as well. Thanks heaps mate!Quote:

With the RZ 1000 reticle the optical centre of the scope is the 500, therefore if you are trying to zero at 100 and then dial it will not work as you are not working from the optical centre but from a point somewhere outside it.
It also means if you zero at 100 and then adjust the power the zero will shift.

When you say it doesn’t track, do you mean the amount you dial on the scope is not reflected when measured at the target?
Thats for holdover in the reticle , it should still track 1/4 moa per click on the turret should it not?Quote:

Should, but lots don’t. That’s why there is correction values in the shooting apps.Quote:

Hard to know without the details though.
May be a scope issue

Any emails with Zeiss to prove to customs if you need to that you were arranging a repair.Quote:

Hi 7RM,
As said by MSL and others, could you explain what you mean by " won't track ?
If you're getting 0.5 moa you must know what you're doing and it should be easy to spot where the problem is.
Could you post some photos of groups and adjustments made ? For instance start group at zero setting, 40 or 80 clicks up then 40 click Left and right. It seems this is an unusual scope that adjusts in inch per 100 yards not moa or mRad. Confirm that your target is vertical by using a plum bob. Confirm the distance with a range finder. And that scope is vertical on the action.
Looking forward to seeing more details.

How far out is it?Quote:

we believe each click @ 100 Yards is doing 1/2 an inch
Hey Guys, here is the groups at 100 yards. (sorry they are cropped the wrong way.....)
Attachment 101110Attachment 101111Attachment 101109
So if you were to dial 10moa at 100 yards you would see a 21” shift in your point of impact?
@MSL, When we were trying to sight the rifle in, the bullet was hitting aprox. 6" above the bulls-eye. That in turn meant we needed to dial 6 MOA down (24 clicks). What ended up happening was after we made the adjustment and fired another round it landed about 5-6" lower than the bulls-eye, causing us to believe it was dialing around about 1/2 MOA per click at 100 yards. This meant it was not tracking correctly. Sadly, the scope in now being sent to Zeiss NZ then if something is to be found wrong (which there is) then onto Germany. TBH mate i'm a bit guttered, I'm 16 and been saving for this gun all year but the scope is faulty haha.Quote:
