    Ive had 2 Z3s and 2 Z5s I thought that made my feedback worth putting up, there glass is great but........
    don't attack me they brake, there is lots of evidence of this on this forum alone.
    Ill stick to my shitty old vx 3s and vx 6s just my opinion
    All good mate. Not being shitty actually. All the fine tuned stuff is fickle. Everything breaks. Z3's are made at a swaro factory in US, so it's a Swaro. But I suppose it's like Guiness brewed at DB here compared to Dublin.

    Still when buying a Z3 for $800 landed it was a good deal. Though when faced with lots of Leupys it's still tempting to melt the plastic.

    My 2cents FWIW

    I know a guy that got a brand new Z5

    He loved that scope, the rifle he put it on not so much, so he sold that rifle & got another one.

    A new Mauser 12 or something, after much swearing & load development with many different projectiles & powders he decided he still liked the Swarovski & really disliked the Mauser, it wouldn't group so sold it, losing quite a bit of $$$ in the process.

    So he bought Kimber 84L in 280ai, stuck the Swarovski on & away he went

    Once again lots & lots of projectiles & powders down the bore to no avail again....

    He was getting pretty annoyed by this stage....

    He got a VX6, stuck on the Kimber and what do you know his group size basically halved.......

    The Swarovski is away getting fixed, it is a Very expensive scope ....

    Anything manufactured can have issues,

    I'm not sure that the Z3 & Z5 are as we'll made as the German Swarovskis much like the Conquests aren't as good as the Davaris

    They are assembled in the States to make them price competitive over there because they don't suffer from tariffs to protect the local Scope manufactures.

    Cheaper isn't always better
