[QUOTE="Weatherby Fan, post: 1437102, member: 29953"] Sorry I can't help you on any of the scopes you mentioned but......... 3 buddies and myself did a comparison of a Zeiss V4 4-16x44, Leupold VX6HD 3-18x44, Zeiss V6 3-18x50, Swarovski Z6 2.5-15x44 and also threw in a Leupold 4.5-14x30 30mm cds ........ I brought over my Custom Remington 700 28 Nosler which had 30mm low Talleys on it, the scope I have mounted on this rifle normally is the Leupold VX6 HD 3-18x44 Mountability-eye relief, all were fine in this department except the Zeiss V4 4-16x44, the tube was to short and the power adjustment ring would touch the foot of the rear mount and even if it didn't touch there was no adjustment for eye relief. As far as actual eye relief no issues with any of the scopes all had a generous eye box when mounted on the rifle and when shouldered all picked up nicely, only one I had to search tiny a bit for was the Leupold VX3i 4.5-14x40 30mm Dawn and Dusk sight picture--all were very good in this dept, the Zeiss V6-3-18x50 was the best, only criticism is the crosshairs in the Swarovski Z6 would disappear at last light where the rest of them you could still see without issue Optically-wow Zeiss hit it out of the park with their new V4/V6 line as edge to edge clarity and brightness is amazing a pleasure to look through, a hair better than the Swarovski Z6/Leupold V6 HD, funny thing the youngest guy in the crowd preferred the Leupold VX3i 4.5-4x40 30mm overall ? the Turrets, I find its a matter of personal preference in this dept, we didn't do any shooting so hard to judge on tracking, the new Zeiss has a very positive click with their turret, but I have used VX3i, VX5 HD and VX6 HD turrets and haven't had any issues with tracking so far at the range. Hard to be critical of any of the scopes, I did find optically the VX3i didn't match up but at that price point I would expect it wouldn't be on par with the others but certainly not that bad, this is the scope I use mostly for hunting. Overall for the money/options/optically I would take the Zeiss V4 4-16x44, this all depends on application as if your looking for lightweight I'm back to the VX3i Leupold ! [/QUOTE]
