Your reviews are so comprehensive that they don't leave much to be asked for to enable a person to make a decision about buying a scope or doing a comparison keeping in view their needs. Bravo.............
Well I don't know anything about rifle scopes, but since I watched this vid I now feel I do. This was an excellent review and well explains the important limitations of this scope that sales people might omit in order to secure a sale of an expensive piece of kit. I see this scope being made with a precise type of customer in mind and to that end the manufacturer has achieved their goal rather well. I was impressed at the durability of the scope. You conveyed that aspect well. I also now understand rifle scopes are a bit like camera lenses - ie you need quite a few.
+ThePaulv12 thank you for your positive comment. With rifle scopes of this class it is always a case that every single product is intended for a specific use and not for everything. It doesn't matter how expensive the scope is, it always has strong and weak sides and we try to show all of them.
+OpticsTradeEU I found this review because I want to buy a scope for my son. I appreciate optics as I have 3 Canon cameras and lots of Canon lenses including 2x L lenses but I have next to no practical experience with guns though I do have a head for ballistics. I figured starting at about $3k~ then working back. His uses for his only gun, a .308, are something like this: A) General all purpose gun B) Occasional night shooting of Deer C) Target shooting at home (as opposed to a range) to about 4-600yds/metres. D) Day shooting of Deer I was wondering if you could give me an idea of a scope to suit in the price range of say $1000 - $1500 that would fit the bill? I value quality optics and don't want to give him a gift that's going to disappoint. It must be durable over many years also. He is tall, solid build and 19 year of age and not that experienced, is a good shot but still somewhat clumsy (rather than careless) so his stuff gets knocked around a bit. Again, durability is important esp for a young bloke. Later, I think he'll get a .223 so any scope I get him may end up on that too from time to time (unless different guns have different sight mounts like different camera brands do for lenses). Like I said, I'm no shooter myself so I hope you can help me out here :)

Elevation clicks is 1cm on the BT turrett, so you have 46cm elevation@100m.
I thought non illuminated models are assembled in USA!
The Z6 series are Austrian. You may be thinking of the Z3?
