Z3 glass is great. Scope isnt built to handle heavy recoil per Swaro. Ive called and asked them this very question and that was their response. Now Ive ran some Z3s on lightweight kickers and have not had one go tits up to this day. I have switched over to Z5s for the extra strength, once again, per Swaros recommendation. Leupold would be a great choice as well. Honestly, either scope is way more than whats needed to kill game

Yet this information isn't in their owner manuals, why is that?
I would guess they arent trying to announce it to the world that they dont recommend their Z3 line on heavy recoiling guns, but they will dish out that info on the phone. Like I said, Ive ran them on some hard kickers and have not had a failure yet, but did switch to Z5s
