    Lightweight new or used scopes vx5/6 vs Swarovski vs March thoughts

    I'm going to buy another scope for a rifle I've got sitting in safe with no scope on it (maybe even 2 scopes ... never have to many rifles a, ),it's been like that unused for a while now so in no rush and unlike me who just rushes out to buy the latest thing as soon as its out i will try wait for something second hand to pop up as I've just spent to much of late on new gear
    .I've just bought a new swaro z5+i 2-25×56 and absolutely love it now sitting on a 7mmprc
    Im thinking something around the 3-18 or 3-15 mark
    Around looking to spend around 1000 to 2500 used . I have 30mm rings so that's a bonus if it was 30mm .it's going on a back up file .
    My main purpose would be to have a good quilty light weight scope for my backup rifles that may get changed between a few rifles over time .

    What's everyone's thoughts I've never owned or used a vx 5 or 6 and the March looks also a big contender also ? But again no experience with them ?
    Any models to avoid ?
    I own a Swarovski z3 and z5+i and do like them both and before I add to the swaro collection I just thought I'd make sure that's the right thing .

    Or should I be considering anything else ? Zeiss ? Vortex?
