That's what he said he was likely shooting, it's still worth dialing 6 or 7 clicks at 300 and 24 at 400 yards.Polite counter argument, if I may…
If only shooting 3-400, why bother dialing?
A NF NXS 2-10 weighs 21 oz, a 3-15 weighs 30. That gets you near bombproof durability. No 17”lbs, 25! and enough to hold. $16-1700 new. Found used for a few hundo less.
Split the difference and that Triji CHX 2.5-15 is bomber too and weighs 23 oz. $8-900.
All have better glass than you’ll ever need. All have brass turrets, not cheap plastic. None are $2-3k and 2 lbs.
All that said, if the Z5 blows your skirt up, have at it amigo.
I like the Trijicon a lot also! Built like a tank and used every day in Africa.
I don't disagree with you one bit about metal parts in a scope. It does matter you are correct. Just saying that not everybody needs A-bomb proof scope and highlight about that Z5 is the weight. There are hundreds of Cooper 92s running around with a Z5 on them right now. I think for an older guy that's not gonna beat his rifle up climbing the mountain he'd be pleasantly happy with it as well as 100 other options.
