I have a Kahles CL Helio. Has anyone compared that with a Swaro Z3? If so, how do they stack up?

I don't have a Z3, but I do have the Z3's predecessor, the AV, which I'm pretty sure has the same glass. I also have a Kahles CL. In my opinion, they are roughly equivalent, with maybe a slight edge to the Kahles.

I'd pretty much agree with Ted. I just got a Z-3 and like it a lot so far (although I've not been to the range yet). I've sold my Kahles, but have a friend with one. By observation only, my opinion is that they are about equal...both are VERY GOOD. I'd lean towards the Swaro though. That's just my $.02.

I find the view through the Swaro slightly more appealing to my eye(s).

I have had a CL 3-10-50 and a AH 3-9x42
to me, the CL was ever so slightly better and I prefered the #4 reticle of the CL I kept the CL Edited by ccoker - January/28/2010 at 08:04 |

would tend to agree I just thought the standard plex reticle of the Swarovksi got lost in very low light that's a reticle issue not a scope issue per se |

IMHO the Swaro "plex" is equivalent to the Leupold "fine duplex". I use the Swaro 4a (much like Kahles #4 you prefer) for very low light situations. |
