BS BS BS. The Z3 is made in the USA but is Swaro Austrian glass.
I have a Z3i - with BRX recticle. The glass is VX6 quality for much better price. Myself and buddy who has VX3 with B&C recticle compared the two at low light levels and midday levels Sept last year. The Swaro had the edge everytime. Early morning, he spots a young fallow hind 230m away and tells me to take it, I look through my swaro and pick out the two tiny pedicles and didn't take the shot. His scope didn't see them.
I bought mine overseas and hand carried it in. $700 cheaper than anyone over here. There are US dealers who will ship to NZ and you'll save heaps.
The BRX recticle is brilliant.
No comparison.
