Default Best prices on Swarovski scopes?

Does anyone have Swarovski scopes on sale right now? I've been looking around but haven't seen any sales.

I'm looking for a Z3. I just put one on one of my rifles and I really like the weight to power ratio. I was originally going to put a Z5 on my ultralight rifle but for a hunting scope I think the 3-10 power will be perfect.

I'm going to get the BRH, I had the BRX on a Z5 and I didn't like how fine the crosshairs were, I really like the BRH reticle I have on my other Z3.

good ... I actually picked up a BRH and thought it was too busy ... so I went with the Plex ... out to 350 yds or so I thought the plex was faster on target ... still not sure if I made the right decision ... like em both

I have a Zeiss HD5 with the rapid Z800 and love it, I run a 7 pin sight on my bow, I'm used to the "busy" atmospher. I had a couple HHA sights for my bows and never could get used to adjusting before I shot so I got rid of them. I find it easier to just use the right crosshair.

Check out Plain Sight Solutions on Gunnutz. Omer usually has some good deals. Bought a couple of Z3s and a Z5 for cheaper than anywhere else in BC or AB.

The only one not on sale in most places is the Z3, I own a few Swarovski's and the only one worth it's value is the Z3,the rest is all way overpriced buy 50 percent,it's a darn tube with glass,not an engine for a car,highway robbery with a smile.

Exceptional service from Omer, PlainSightSolution

Over past years I've purchased a few Swarovski and Leica optics from Omer.
This year before going to Elk camp I was sighting in my Swarovski Z5 3.5-18x44 Ballistic Turret. I tried to reset zero but for same reason my Ballistic Turret fell off as small plastic latch broke off.
I texted Omer asking for instruction how to send this scope for repair to Swarovski.
Omer helped me out not only with shipment but went above and beyond my expectation and shipped me loaner scope Z5 5-25x52 BT so I could use my gun before other comes back from repair.
I had my scope back from Swarowski warranty repair in 4 weeks at no cost. They did cover shipment both ways and repair.
I've sent loaner back to Omer and hunted with my gun at the end of the season.

That's exceptional service from both Omer and Swarovski.
Thanks Andrew

Clay from Prophet River offered me the best deal on a new scope, then an AO member offered me a good deal on a used one I couldn't pass up.

Thanks to all for the responses and offers!
