I found a z6 3-18x50 BT locally, and if the price he quoted me on the phone is for real, it may be too tempting to resist. I KNOW I will be able to get my $$ back if I send it down the road in the future. Faith and love of others knows no mileage nor bounds.

Which would you choose? [b]You MUST pick one or the other! Pick one, and say why. I would take the Zeiss over the Swaro because the Zeiss will return to zero if you crank it up for a long shot and the Swaro will struggle returning to zero after the shot. rockchuck did you exprience that with Swaro's BT? I ask because I have one I've yet to try out and that would be a real bummer.

No one I know, therefore, a stranger? Do I have to buy a condo to get one gifted? The world doesn't work that way ... CRAZINESS!! I don't believe those contests or raffles I keep buying tickets for are real ... I've never won nor personally know people who won. Just faceless names on the interweb who say they win. So ...

A true friend is priceless. Here, hold my beer and watch this!

I would go with the swaro in your question though - goes down to 3 power and up to 18. But either way you are golden. "Successful is leaving something in better shape than you inherited it in.
