I actually just picked up a mint used zeiss V6 3-18x50 zmoa-2 for $1200. I decided to go that route being is gives me plenty of low end for my property in hardwoods, but the 18x allows me to really make precise shots at distances. The other thing that surprised me was the low light capability of the Zeiss when compared to my Schmidt Bender 2.5-10x56. I still give the edge to the SB, but here in Louisiana, we have legal shooting times and the Zeiss gets me way past legal times. If only they would offer an illuminated reticle like the SB, then I could have the best of both.
