A swaro Z5 is a 'high end' optic, btw.
If you think the Z5 is worth almost twice the money as a VX6 then get a big helpin' of it. I know better.
Gottem both, it ain't...!
When you're looking for the most glass with the least amount of weight the z5 IS worth the extra cash.
Yes, the Swarovski is 3.6oz lighter, that is true. But, the VX6 is at least equal to, and to my eyes, better optically than those Swarovski models. For dialing turrets I also find the CDS system nicer that the Ballistic Turret - although I understand Swarovski now has a CDS style retrofit for $99. The one thing that is FAR superior on the Leupold is the eyebox.
I am a big Swarovski fan, but these VX6's are the real deal. The only caveat is that they are new. Will I be happy two years from now? I certainly hope so!
