I agree that Z3 and VX-6 glass quality are close. The VX-6 Duplex is way better than the Z3 duplex. Slimmer, sleeker scope, advantage Z3.

My Z3 is a 4-12x50 BT, my comparative VX-6 is a 2-12x42. I like them both, maybe the VX-6 a little more. The CDS, IMHO, is better than the Swaro BT, which I think needs an aftermarket turret.

Most scope for the buck: Leupold.
