[QUOTE="Catskills, post: 2091766, member: 106302"] I’m a swaro glass fan....but not of the Z3 or Z5 for tracking. Unless you are understand and are using a reticle for hold overs, in my experience, you will be disappointed. That mirrors 35 years of Leopold experience. They are great set and forget scopes...and that’s it (this has been with the vari-x-III and VX3 variants). I've been impressed with SWFA dialing and return to zero but the FFP reticle don’t work for me in low light, particularly at low power unless illuminated. IMO, you do need to pony up to the HD glass. For tracking and Return to zero, the LRHS and Zeiss ((DL or better) bring together the combination of good glass and reliable tracking. Unfortunately, those blow through your weight perimeters. Right now, if I were to buy new or replace my existing glass, I’d be focused on LRHSi models....which presently are not available. While the G3 reticle in low light at low powers has issues, being able to turn on the illumination is a quick fix. I’m told LOW which makes the LRHS/LRTS scopes also makes high end Athalon scopes. They may offer other alternatives....but I have no experience with them. [/QUOTE]
