I just got two new Swaros a 1.7-13x42 iX8 and a 1-8x24 iX8. Awesome scopes and the range is ideal for almost everything.

That being said I hunted for 11days in the Eastern Cape this last July with a AHR express rifle in 300 Weatherby, it was topped with a 2-5x15x44 iX6. I took Bushbuck Rams from 18m all the way out to 435m. I can't actually tell the difference between the two. I thought the iX6 was perfect, the iX8 is indistinguishable to my eyes.

I really like the 1-8x24, to me that is the perfect scope for a 375HH in buff country. I also have a Schmidt and Bender 1-8x24i and I can honestly say I like the Swaro better. It's not really the glass but the magnification controls and illuminations controls are superior from on ergonomic point of view in my opinion.

Can't go,wrong with the Ziess, Schmidt or Swaro as long as you do the illuminated reticles. I'm 100% sold on illuminated reticles. Helps to call your own shots, very fast, focuses the eye better and picks up on dark animals much better.
