Ouch!  I hate when that happens.

I like your choice of mounts Dale, keeping the back base out of the ejection port.  I like the low position - good job.  Are those Warne bases and rings?  What's the caliber of the 700 TI?

IMO the biggest advantage of this Swaro over the Leupold is the field of view (75 vs. 38 at low power).  The glass in the VX-7 is darn good.  Maybe the Swaro has better glass - probably does - but even my VX-111's will take me past legal shooting hours (30 minutes after Sunset) where I hunt.  And the VX-7 is noticeably better than VX-111's.  The Leupold feels/looks tough as nails.  Metal turrets seem higher quality.  They're both fine scopes.  If I was hunting anything but dangerous game up close I'd buy the VX-7.

warne bases and rings,- originally going to get a 280 in a Cooper 52, until their events in the election-- like what remington is doing so got a 280 in a Ti. got the scope to see if it was that good. Best qualities as you mention, and the one I like the most is how it works on low power. However there is a difference on high power between focusing and resolution that is not present in the v7 with the ao. This scope has seen 600 rds over an AR10, 400 over a cooper 6.5 and 600 over a R5 remington . about a year ago got to compare the Diavari, z6, and v7 in a day long shoot, couple of hundred rounds. The v7 are a lot more impressive than the diavari feature for feature (except glass of course), and if turrets/saddle/reticle choice is a deciding factor--- put it up to the swaro.

Are you saying the Z-6 has better resolution on high power than the VX-7 or the opposite? 

I'd agree with the comments about Zeiss.  I know others will disagree but they feel fragile compared to a VX-7 even though their glass is better.  I love their binos.

The resolution is better in the Zeiss, although the VX7 is no slouch.

in my z6 it is difficult to obtain a sharp focus on the reticle and the central image on high power, also the the euro fast focus developed wobble , grasping between the finger and thumb a noticable movement can be detected, doesn't seem to affect the poi (yes I know the theory). this may not be present in other z6, but if it is, an ao , such as the one in the v7 should offer a better soln.

Jon A, he's been put on "ignore" by so many on the other forums, including JB as you know, he's found a new hom over here.  Does this site have an IGNORE feature?  If so, you guys better learn how to use it on this clown (E).
