Default Any Z5 Swaro out there?

I have had this scope with the ballistic turret and 4w reticle for the last couple years. Glass is top quality and I like the BT elevation dial because it allows me to customize the distance corrections to correspond to whatever load I'm working with.

I've seen some internet reviews that claim the Z5 line doesn't track well, but I have had nothing but great experiences with it.

I zero for 200, and use the green, yellow and red for 300, 400, and 500yds. I then take a fine point marker and mark 25yd increments on the actual turret from 200yd to about 750yd (or whatever the 13MOA range adjustment that the BT allows).

I guess that this brings up one of the big drawbacks of the BT: limited elevation adjustment. If you're a real long range aficionado, you'll find the 13MOA will limit you to around 800yd, depending on cartridge and load.
