Z3 or Duralyt???

[86alaskan]

So, just sold off one rifle to buy another, and now I need to scope the new one. The rifle is a Tikka T3 338WM. Its got a rail so rings aren't too hard to come by. Does anyone have any experience one way or another with either the Swarovski Z3 4-12x50 or the new Zeiss Duralyt 3-12x50? I really like the specs and look of the Duralyt Illuminated version, but can't find one in Anchorage to look at. I know that the Swaro will work well and is very nice, but I can't have that model in illuminated reticle. Or.... any suggestions in that power range for up to $1k? personal opinions and field experience greatly appreciated.

I was just going through this same decision process and ended up with a Meopta Meostar.

I was skeptical at first, but listened to Keifer at Europtics and happy I did.

For the money, I think they are exceptional as they are very well built and the glass is at the top.

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but you may want to take a look at these for what you want to spend.

That's just the info i was looking for. I don't like being hung up on a brand, so other options are very welcome.
