For me its the Zulus V2 all the way. At first glance it appears the scope height is a problem. The eye cup places your eye, and the stock will snug against the jaw. Paralax is not a problem as its not a glass optic, its a camera.
Fitting on my Rapid the pica rail extends back over the block, the Zulus clamps here as if made for it.
Shooting the ballistic calculator once set up and range adjusted is deadly accurate, the reticle types and colours offered are more than adequate.
Zoom range this is completely down to choice between the two models. For me the sub 12 out to 50yds will be the 3-12 offering a great field of view at the shorter ranges. For the longer starting ranges for FAC I opted for the 5-20,even at 40 yds this allowed enough field of view to cope.
Range finding, the spot rangefinder is coupled to the ballistic calculator, this allows the chosen method of corrections to be instantly made.
One downside is consistencies in shot delivery. The ballistic calculator will not make adjustments for varying shot pressures, so of course a regulator will be a need for accuracy from first shot to last.

I like the ease of adding extra pellets, when you see the indicator down to 1 or 2 pellets left.

Received it yesterday and after some initial teething issues on my part these look very good. The mag empty indicator is very good for my ageing eyes too.Hopefully give it a full work out tomorrow.

Hi all for the last few weeks have been using the Zulus V2 on the FAC Mk2 rapid, stunning! Pellet of choice H&N Barracuda at 18.5grns energy 34ft lbs. Rabbits out to 124yds.
Really needed a spotter to accompany the outfit but the cost was just over my pay grade. Saw on the Optics Warehouse in their draw a Hikmicro thermal spotter, just out of my normal habit, bought tickets at just under £20.00. Guess what 'winner winner chicken dinner' I won it  ;D  retail value just under £900.00. It's a game changer for spotting available victims.

Yes, thanks for the reply. I meant to say bar not psi.
