Another scope question

[Josh Wright]

Leupold vx 6 3x18 44 CDS or swarovski z5 3.5x18 44 bt.

Going on a Christensen Arms Ridgeline 26 nosler.

Need all thoughts that have experience with either one or both.

Swarovski fanboy here.

Swaro fan here also, although most of my rifles have Leupold's on them and Leupold makes a very good scope IMO.

 

[dotman]

Swaro fan here as well.

Just picked up the VX-6 with firedot reticle and I am supper happy with it. I think you get a hell of a lot more scope for less money then the swaro. Yeah swaro is great but a lot of other companies are catching up with their high end lines. 30mm tube vs 1 inch, illuminated reticle. Plus as much as I like their binos I am not a fan of their ballistic turret. I like the zero lock turret from leupold much better.

When personally handling the scopes, I felt the swarovski had faster adjustments on the zoom and the turrets. I also like the weight of the swaro. optically they were close, but I felt the swaro was clearer. However, the leupold felt like it was solidly built compared to the swaro.
