Thread: Swaro z3 3-10x42 brx/brh reticle VS vx3hd 3.5-10x40 cds or 2.5-8x36 cds

why folks seem to believe you need big scope for a bush rifle is beyond me.....the bottom end having good field of view is 600% more important than good reticle and high magnification at bottom end....
look at any poll this forum has made and you will see by far the majority of animals are shot under 200 yards and the majority of those in bush are under 50 yards.
I recently tried 4.5x14 in the bush and found the 4.5 was still too high and narrow......same with 4x12 the bottom was just wrong,too big and clumbsy for everyday carry.
basic 3x9x40mm is plenty enough at both ends and a 2x7 is better still,some of us have a fixed 4x on main rifle.......
IF I had that amount of $$$$$ to spend on scope one of the excellent low vari powers would get the tick...1-6 or similar. smaller and less likely to be damaged with better field of view....critical for that quick target acquisition so important in the tight scrub.
