I have Been saving up my chips to get a new scope for my rifle.

Can't give any 1st hand experience, but if you're throwing those names out you've been saving for a while.

Swarovski hands down. ive got a z6 3-18x50 and on quarter moon night i can see good enough to shoot about 200 yards. they let in the most light than any other scope ive used. that being said i dont think they are worth the money. yeah you can see at night but you cant kill deer at night. ive got nikons and with a 50mm can see perfect during shooting hours. for the price of a swarovski you can get another rifle and scope.

I use a 4.5x14x50 Leupold and love it. Great light gathering at early dawn and late evenings. My dad used to have a 6.5x20x50 and you could see a ticks a$$ crack at 200 yards! Best for the money, IMO.

Dad has a Swarovski and I shoot a Zeiss. Both are great and offer that last extra few mins of shooting time. I would recommend both. I would get the illuminated reticule when you get a new scope. It comes in handy when you are trying to get the shot off at twilight and the deer is 200 yards out.

If your going to spend the money get the swar. Best peice of glass I've seen. Leupold vx7 are crystal clear as well and let in lots of light.
