    Just read on another forum that the turrets will have a zero stop that allows multiple revolutions, not just one like the current CDS zero stop.
    Not that I know how the current zero stop works.

    Ok, but why would you need an 18 at even 500m
    the 12 power would be my pick on a bigger game centerfire, maybe the 18 on Varminter
    But the higher ones only if they had a better turret/ click system.

    It's also Moa only and SFP, and costs more than a Pm2. Aimed at old people I guess

    My objection to the swaro z5 turret is that it's made of a bunch of tiny fiddly bits of plastic, seems a pain in the arse to set zero (watched someone do it the other day), hasn't got markings the complete turn between the little coloured things so you have to count clicks, and has very limited elevation in one turn if you use the zero stop. Sure you can take the zero stop off but no revolution indicators and then you have the problem described above

    E; wow pm2s have gone up in price huh

    I like those but Purchase Cost + only 10 year warrenty is not as good as Luppy cost + "what ever you have done to it we will fix it" warrenty even if the Leupolds glass is not as good.

    Leupold VX6 - New Options

    True Mikee but if I haven't worn out/sold/got sick of this scope in 10 years then I'll deal with that
    I've had enough of both two no what I prefer.
    Nothing wrong with either, like a lot of things your personal choice will always be best.

    I just had a play with both in the shop and I prefer the Zeiss. The turrets that come with it are only a few mils higher than the VX6 so no hassle there, but they were precise audible clicks, where the VX6 you really had to concentrate to work out if it was a click or not! Plus in my opinion the glass on the Zeiss seemed clearer and brighter. And it was cheaper as well. Apparently Leupold have a lot better warranty though. Another factor was the reticles. The Zeiss had a good classic duplex reticle where I think the Leupold crosshair was just to fine IMO.
