Thread: Price points in centrefire hunting scopes

Good work.
My experience:

NF NSX - sturdy, reliable dialling, far to heavy for hill hunting.
Swarovski Z6i - my main scope for over 10 years, great glass, light, relatively fragile, very expensive.
Leupold VX6 - fairly new addition, good glass (but not as good as Swarovski), light, expensive(ish), superb warranty.

I think we generally look at lightness, cost and warranty more in NZ than many do in Europe and the US. Our type of hunting calls for light rifles and scopes for the hills and light, wieldy set ups with low magnification for bush hobbits. Our terrain is rough and breakages reasonably common, so a great warranty (Leupold) is a must for many of us.

Cheers
