Some great info on this forum guy's. I need a scope for my 325WSM. I hunt open fields mostly so long shots are common. (200-500 yards). I'm stuck between the Swarovski Z3 4*12-50 BXR reticle or the Leupold VX3L 4.5*14-56 Boone&crocket. What would you do and why. Thanks |

From an optical standpoint Leupold doesn't make anything in the same class as Swarovski.

Swaro ALL the way. No contest IMO.

I'd go with the Swarovski hands down. It's just a better scope.

That's a lot of money for either one.
How are Swarovski scopes for durability...extremely tough? Always hold zero no matter what? Seems people get very excited about them but I can't stop picturing their little glass figures at the stores in the malls. |

Swarovski is the better choice. Look on samplelist for some deals.

Swaro has better glass. To answer the above questions, yes they are tuff or just as tuff as a Leupold or any other quality scope. Swarovski scopes hold zero and provide a much brighter image over the Leupold. Leupold still makes a fine scope but they are outclassed in this comparison.
The glass figures in the mall I believe are a sister company to the swarovski. The crystal logo is the swan the eagle is the optik company.

I'll take your guys word for it, messed me up the first time I actually tried to go into one of the stores because I wanted to look at some scopes and binoculars to see how great they are. Seems like every mall in San Diego wants to have those little stores here.
I've read a few times in other forums about problems with some Swarovski AV scopes, but since then all the Swarovski scopes use different erector systems? |

I have a 6-24x50, with target knobs, and fine hairs on my Browning M-1000 chambered in 7mmWSM. It's my first Swarf and I'll never look back.
