Leupold Vx-6hd or Swaro Z5
 
Going to be getting a new scope for my Christensen Ridgline 6.5prc, wondering if anyone’s had any experience with the leupold VX-6hd, I’ve had a Swaro z5 in the past and thought the glass was great. Wondering how the Leupold might compare to the Swaro.

Thanks!

i really like my vx6HD i just got it early this year so i haven't hunted it yet but.
pros:
open turrets that have a zero stop and lock in place.
dials have 2nd rotation info on them and it's easy to see which rotation you are on in a glance.
reticle leveler built in.
the glass is so far as i expect.


cons:
i don't like flip covers you can't see through (even if they're included)
the throw lever sticks out pretty far and can catch on stuff (i guess i could take it off if i cared)



fyi
mine is a 3-18

I chose the Leupold because of the weight, the cost and the features I get for the cost.

^ So you chose heavier and more expensive scope because of the weight and cost? Sounds reasonable.

Edit: probably feeding a troll here.

You are likely right:)
