Just wondering if you have ever tried to use one for hunting?


LOL, or outdoors in any capacity. Pretty sure I already know the answer.

But actually using the scope isn't necessary to determine conclusively that it's worthless for hunting, these days. Especially funny that it's called the "Long Range Hunting Scope" and works great in that role, yet those with zero experience know better...

I would unhesitatingly swap out the Z3 for a LRHS, but I value reliability and functionality more than alpha glass and weight savings (though the LRHS' glass is very impressive). A compromise for the OP would be to grab a 3-10x42 NF SHV with Forceplex, assuming he can't accept the weight of the LRHS nor the FFP reticle. If the weight isn't a deal breaker, and you can wrap your head around the notion that the FFP reticle is an asset, then I'd prefer the LRHS over the SHV.
