Just recently found out that I was incorrect about the Z5 3.5-18x44 being discontinued - they are still being manufactured. They’ve just been out of stock for an extended period. Great news, as they are a great lightweight rifle scope for mountain hunting.Doc,
Have to agree with Doug on this one. I have a Swarovski Z5 3.5-18x BRH Reticle and used it a bunch of times for Sheep, Chamois and other Mountain Game. It is very bright and very light (16oz), yet is fairly rugged and holds zero even after getting knocked around a bit. Have taken a number of animals 350-500 yards with a 6.5CM. Swarovski has an app to calcuate the drop and which reticle line to use for vertical hold (I taped a laminated chart to my riflestock). Feel very confident making actual hunting shots out to 500 yards with that scope.
That scope was just discontinued but I’m certain someone still has them in stock. Very reasonable $ for the quality of the item.
