[QUOTE="Alfred Crouch, post: 414495, member: 13464"] Thanks very much for all the responses. I got a Conquest 4.5 x 14 x 44, EGW Picatinny rail with 0 MOA and Leupy PRW rings this time. I am going to need another scope before the end of the year and will be doing a lot more reading and looking. The Swaro Z5 would be perfect for mounting on a 22-250 AI. The 3.5 to 18 power range and 44 objective are very attractive to me. Even though Swaro, like a number of the high dollar scopes, seems to have an excellent reputation something about the knobs makes me pause ...... they just don't seem very sturdy ... the way they are built or work just seems to raise doubts about their dependability/durability..... they just don't seem to click with authority .... or something. I like the design, compactness, lightness, clarity etc. The 3.5 power on the low end would be excellent for coyote calling and other close in shots. The upper end of 10 to 16 would be excellent for targets, crows, Pdogs etc. The side focus parallax knob is great. [B][U]The price is AWFUL[/U][/B]. A lot of money to spend, [B]especially when there is a nagging doubt there[/B]. The big positive with Swaro and Zeiss is their reputation for standing behind their products. [/QUOTE]
