I'm glad they now make a Z8.

That way the second hand Z6's that people had to have with drop in price substantially when the same people have to have the Z8's.

I have found the ancient old non illuminated 1 1/2-6's actually affordable recently for the first time.

Must have had anyway as found I had purchased one, forgot from whom (!) or when (!). Think it was from a forum member. But found it in the cupboard. I think it was supposed to go on my .375 H&H, and I was supposed to get some Warne or Kimber 30mm rings for it.

I do think a Z8 1-8x illuminated scope would be nice though. A perfect scope in my opinion starts at close to true 1x, and 8x is a pretty big magnification IMO for 99% of hunting.

The MAJOR issue I see with these scopes is their exessive size and weight.
