No sorry they don't..... I missed that bit of the post sorry :oops:, I wasn't trying to be a smart-ass. Need to reed thread from start :roll:

The Z5 5-25 x50 is around the $ 2090.00 Mark...... :shock: its bloody though deciding what way to go with what little disposable funds one may have, even wore as the bloody dollar takes a dive.

I'm trying to pull enough together to get the Z3 4-12 for the Vartarg.

All the best for your search.

While not related to scopes, did you see this SSAA special? This is much less than RRP for either one (depending on where you shop).

I use the P7's and they are pretty good, even if it's only 4xAAA's (which last me an average of a week camping).

Swarovski Z5. Either the 3.5-18x44 or the 5-25x44. With the Ballistic Turret.

Not much change from $2k though.

Bushnell does a 3-21 tacticool scope that can be bought with a Zero Stop, they can be bought for under $1500, but IMHO their value point is just under $1k.

Trev,
I run the hd5-25 x 50 target turrets and a varmint reticle.
Gives me hold overs for spotlighting or quick shots and the ability to click when I have the time.
Happy for you to have a play with it if you want to meet up at one of the locals.

I have 5 or 6 of the standard Vortex Vipers and they are good, repeatable clicks and decent glass. I haven't tried the PST but they should have better glass.
