[QUOTE="Coopershawk, post: 2526481, member: 90458"] I have the VX5's, VX6's,Z3's,Z6 and an SHV. They all seem to have really good glass to my eye. The Swarovskis have that little edge in sharpness but I can't see a big advantage in normal hunting use. Their turret system is really limited but I like the Z3 for a classic 1" look on an older rifle where I won't be dialing. The SHV is big and the turrets large with a busy reticle. Hands down I like the Leupold turrets the best for a practical hunting rifle. The lock system is great, the turrets are low- so easy in/out of case or scabbard. They are also much easier to look through- I guess better "eyebox" is the term. Not weaving my head around looking for the light in the tunnel. I don't have much use for an illuminated reticle so I favor the cheaper VX5 over the VX6. Love the nice simple Windplex reticle. All that being said I'm a hunter not a competitor that spins the dials a lot. So, I can't speak to their strength vs a tank like Nightforce. Another vote here for the Aluma lens covers! [/QUOTE]
