    I’ve had my hands on all off these, used leupold and swaro. I am in the same position currently planning scopes for hunting rifle of similar nature. If weight was my No1 factor or be in a swaro. The z5 isn’t really a fair comparison. The z6 is what I’ll be going for. 30mm, Good turret, light and clear optic.

    That said… more recently I have been finding my self more and more concerned with durability of the swaro/don’t feel as comfortable giving it a hard time as some hunts end up. The Z6 is now on my 223 for farm hunts.. and I’ll be lining up either a NXS 2.5-10x40 or the Nx8. Hands down these are made for a bad days where the environment just gets the better of us. If your cashed up to buy atm. I’d snap up the deal on the adjacent thread for the NX8 priced extremely well and around what you’ll pay nearly for a vx6 or Z6.

    Yea man will do. Had any experience with the March scopes? Been recommended and looking at the 2.5-25x42. Wicked mag range, good weight, seem awesome just some real decent reviews on them.
