I own and hunt both Leupold VX3 and Swaro Z3 scopes. To my eye the Swaro is significantly better in colour cast (doesn't have the Leupie yellow tinge), resolution and contrast. Well worth the additional money IMO.
Jason, I have never looked thru a VX-3 but the VX-III i had a few years back really hung right there with comparable Kahles and Swaro 1" tubes..I dont think the 500 dollar difference is easily viewed(no pun intended)
