Too bad you have to consider the 30mm, bulkier scope. The 1" VX-3 4.5-14x40 has only 19.9 ft, field of view at lowest power, as compared to the VX-3 3.5-10 with 29.8'. Both the Swarovski Z3 4-12x50 and the Z5 3.5-18x44 have 29' and 30' FOV at lowest power respectively. That's a 10' difference that could be an issue at close range and the reason I eliminated that model from my short list.
