[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1078221, member: 70559"] My z5 is 18.1 ounces on the postal scale. My VX-6 is 22.8 ounces. The VX-6 shows better colors and is requires about 1 1/2X less magnification setting for me to see the same detail. I checked with a friend at the range who has a z6 3-18X and a VX-6 3-18X and I noticed the same thing with his as I did with mine. He told me he noticed the same thing. The VX-6 just seems nicer. The z5 has a 1" tube while the VX-6 has a 34mm tube. That's right[B]![/B] a 34mm tube. The crosshair in the z5 is maybe 1/3 the thickness of the one in the VX-6. Also the side focus and magnification ring of the z5 is effortless, while the VX-6 both are rather stiff. If I had to choose and was still young I would choose the VX-6. But since I am old the z5 is on my light rifle (7 lbs all up) and the VX-6 is on the heavy rifle (7 lb 13 oz all up). [/QUOTE]
