Which of these is the better scope? Give me pros and cons. They are prices very similar, are they about equal, or is one better?

I will give you my opinion soon.  I have a Conquest 3-9X40 Rapid Z600.  I like that scope a lot.

I ordered a z3 4-12X50 BRH from SWFA that should be here by Friday.  I have high hopes for the scope.

Swaro Z3 is a little better optically.  Mechanically... who knows?

The Z3's are a few ounces lighter than equivalent Conquests, if that matters.

I agree the z3 is a tad better than the conquest optically.  There's just something about the swaro's fit and feel that "screams" quality to me, others may have a different opinion about this.

Might not be for the OP and the 3-9 models but the difference between the 4.5-14 rapid Z800 and 4-12 brh is only $50 right now.

For some strange reason only 8 shots seems to get that driver.

Brown box by the door!!

Christmas in January!







I will post some impressions in the Member's Review section as soon as I have a little time with her.  Here she is next to my Conquest:



Pretty compact for a 4-12, and lightweight too.  Reticle looks cool.  Can't wait to get her on the Elkinator!
