When I spoke with Swarovski a couple months ago regarding a reticle swap out, I asked about the warranty. If I remmeber correctly, they said the windage and elevation setup is lifetime. Everything else is 30 years. If I were you, I'd call them to confirm before you buy if that is a concern.
Love my Swaros and Kahles...

the best part of the z6 scopes is their low end, not particularly their high end, what kind of hunting are you thinkin?? to me the only advantage in the z6 in this mag. range is the over all wt. which is 1/2 lb lower than the leo. In this price and size range, there are better scopes-- zeiss diavari 24, premier, uso.

I think it is important that you understand that the balistic reticles do not work at all powers unless the scope has the reticle in the first focal plane however dialing in correction with either target knobs or with a balistic turret will correct for trajectory at any scope power - this is a very important consideration when trying to shoot in that 300 to 600 yd distance with a gun sighted at 200 yds. Kahles multizero scopes are another example of a hunting scope with balistic turret.

A Zeiss with target knobs either original of added by the factory aftermarket is a good choice and can use Kenton Ind knobs like these:
Zeiss Conquest, Classic, Diavari VM/V, & Victory Series L.R. HUNTER

Zeiss Conquest, Classic, Diavari VM/V, & Victory Series MILITARY

the need to dial down for more light, by the same token also reduces the effective range at which the shot is taken, the scope will already be sighted in at 200 yds and the kill zone will be good to 300 yds, at any mag.
and since the magnification and light have been reduced so does the shooters ability to hold on a specific area of the target, negating the preceived disadvantage of sfp. in your case with about 20 moa drop to a 1000 yds it will never be a problem anyway.
the way the z6 was designed gives it an advantage in the lower range of the zoom with lower distortion. both of the scopes have side ao which isn't a fun thing to mess with in low light.
much more to the point here is-- how are you going to tell the distances??
