    Vote for the Swaro here, slightly cheaper but take a look at the Zeus HD5's, very nice indeed

    Just stating the obvious don't get the fine reticle........

    Try one, it wont disappoint, if its unsuitable get the VX-6 in 2-12
    I'm in a similar situation, why would you go this over Swaro z5? IIRC Swaro is 1" & vx6 is 30mm?

    VX6 3-18x44 is a great hunting scope, 3x is good right up close and 18x will go as far as you ever want on a hunting rifle and then some, nice glass, dials perfectly, looks good, low profile turrets, lightweight, no questions asked lifetime guarantee. Cant go wrong.
