    No offence but what possible comparison could be made anyway, between a fixed 10x and a scope with a 6.5x zoom range! ?

    PS can't believe that price from BAR ! that is incredible. At that money i wouldn't hesitate for an instant

    I love mine; i have both the 2.5-16x50 and the 4.5-30x50 for ages and you just can't touch them for versatility. I see Swaro have caught up and are now offering the wonderful Z6 in both 2.5-15 AND 5-30 guises. Now i REALLY want one of each of them them!

    Used mine for the first time today, for me it's a crisper image than anything I'd used before, including EB Sniper, Lightstream and Leup Mk4, and as a bonus gives me the same aim points as the Sniper. I haven't used a Bushnell scope before, am I imagining the distinctly copper tinge to the reticle, or is this normal for Bushnells?

    Yes, this is completely normal and the same for my Legend and Elite (although not my Sportsman). Sounds a cracking scope. Enjoy!
