Technically, it means "chromatic aberration," but it's the same thing. CA is the color fringing you sometimes see along the edge of high contrast surfaces such as dark objects silhouetted against a light or bright background.

Ted is correct. I was referring to Chromatic Aberration. I was resigned to just believing that CA was something I would have to live with given the restrictions of rifle scope design, but this scope proves me wrong. |

Even though I own some Conquests, for me, the view through Swarovski scopes is noticeably better.
Is it worth the price difference? That question applies to any scope you purchase. There does seem to be a big price jump to get anything better than a Conquest. |

Alan, the prices on Swarovski Z3 scopes are currently discounted for a Swarovski promotion. It brings their prices quite near their Conquest counterparts. http://swfa.com/Swarovski-Z3-Riflescopes-C1808.aspx |

Do you folks know with the Z3 what changes they made from the old AV line other than asthetics? I have both a AV and a new Z3 in 3-10x42 and can't say I see a difference optically. Great scopes.

I don't think they changed anything mechanically, just aesthetics and the series designation.
Also, at least some, if not all of the AV's were made entirely in Austria, and the Z3 is evidently now assembled in the US. Don't know when that change went into affect. My 2 AV's say "made in Austria" on them. |
