My brother worked in a gunshop and found out one thing that has stuck with me about swaro - for at least Z4 and I'm pretty certain Z5 the only difference in the glass between those and Z3 is that there is no difference.
It is the same glass and the only difference is that Z5 and Z4 are manufactured and assembled in europe whereas Z3 is sent to be assembled in USA. They did it because they wanted to break into the more mainstream scope scene and be assimilated with the word "affordability" as opposed to being all so expensive while still maintaining a high class.
I havent personally used it but when I was on the verge of buying one I handled them a lot. The have 3 colours red, green and yellow that you set to different distances as well as a white one which from memory is the zero. They have a phone app or through their website there is a program that allows you to put in all the detail for either factory or handload info and it works out your calculated drop for different distances so that you can set it all up accurately.
Something worth looking into I think.
As I said before I would've got one but the VX-R was more practical as I do far more low light shooting then long stuff that would require that. My 300wm is flat shooting so out to 350m as long as I know where she's shooting I'm comfortable without need for a BR reticle or ballistic turret.
All personal preference though and unlike many will tell you there is no right and wrong
