You can't go wrong with any one of those. But I like Swarovski the best.

Is the illuminated reticle really important to you? If so, I'd say Accupoint...no batteries to worry about. If it not, Swarovski.




Or you could just spend the $3000 to get the illuminated Z6, brah!

Jk...but I seem to remember you really being excited about that BT Z3. I think maybe you're leaning that way but just threw a few other possibilities in the mix?

I have a ton of leupold glass and like them very much. Customer service has treated me very well. That said, the glass is not as good as he swaro. I looked through both while elk hunting in Colorado mountains and there was a clear difference.

Leupolds are house fire proof if that carries any weight with you.
