[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1547734, member: 70559"] After having a bad experience with Swarovski I wouldn't suggest that brand to anyone. I had a Nightforce 12-42X56. It was fantastic, but too heavy. I had a Leupold VX-6 4-24X52 at the same time I had the Swarovski z5 5-25X52 and Bushnell 6500 4 1/2-30X50. As far as glass, how they came in on an optics chart at 127 yards, they were first 6500, second VX-6, and third z5. They all went down in the same minute when viewing deer antlers 131 yards away in the woods. The Leupold VX-5 3-15X56 lasted six minutes longer. The Swarovski 2.3-18X56 lasted another fourteen minutes. The Swarovski z6 5-30X50 was terrible and went out so early in the test I don't even remember it's time. The owner sold it right away. I have over a hundred pages of comparing optics at the 127 yard optics chart. Most don't live up to the hype. This is only for comparing glass. Although the z5 erector failed twice. The second time Swarovski charged me $30 for something. [/QUOTE]
