The Swaro's are great glass but are not as tough as some others. I have a Z3 and it is light, no way would I put that on anything with sharp or heavy recoil. I have heard the top of the rang Leupies are every bit as good as any of the Euro glass. If you want a tough scope then S&B and the Nightforce NXS are the ones that survive the longest in the Military Test to Destruction trials.

Agree---I have a couple NF's and have never had an issue with them..also have one SB, same with it as well..however it is actually on a 6/284..so recoil in minimal..the two NF are on heavier recoiling calibers with one on my Sako TRG-42 in 338 Lapua..but, like the old Timex commercial and an old girlfriend of mine, takes a licking and keeps on ticking..

MY only issue with the NF and SB is for mtn hunting they are just too heavy for what I want to lug around for days on end..which is the main reason I have gone with the Swaro Z5, Zeiss Conquests, and Leupolds..
