I have a Swaro Z8i…..2.3-18x56….with the 4W+ reticle, which is a basic duplex with an illuminated dot in the center…..and it’s perfect, no bleeding and unbelievably crisp. I own all the scopes u listed…..the S&B Polar (4-16x56) and Exos (3-21x50) and the 2.4-16x56 Magnus.
The Swaro is def the best overall optically. I like some of the features of the other scopes more (than the Z8i) but for low light and pure color and clarity my eyes prefer it.
I have 2 Z8i’s and just sold the rifle that was topped with this scope. I was gonna keep it and pick up another rifle, but I’m OK with selling it.
This scope has the ballistic turret ($325+) and the really slick magnetic lens caps ($200+). U can usually find the bare scope as a demo for $3200-$3400.
It’s pristine without a scratch and if u don’t like it, send it back.
This is the only pic I have at the moment…..the scope is at my home and I’m not.
I’d let the scope, turret and caps go for $2800 to your door.
I have it listed on LRH (Long Range Hunting) and have bought and sold a ton over there. My cell is 540-353-8321 if u wanna text or chat about it. Thanks
