Thread: Swaro Z5 5x25 -52

Thanks for that I think just over $2000, I have a 6500 4.5 x 30 x 50 on my AR 223. On 30x I lose a bit late afternoon so have to wind it down. If I use 18 X on the 5-25 x 52 do I loose anything over the 3.5 X 18? My eyes ain't what they were, LOL. I thought about the Z6 Great scope but tooo many $. Next Xmas maybe. How does the 20 Tac go ? What projectiles, powder are you useing?

No, you loose nothing, other than the 3.5 - 5 bottom end. Possibly even better given the 52mm vs 44mm objective. I bought my Z6 as a demo unit from Euro Optics, great to deal with.

20 Tac is awesome. Had a couple of 204R before I had the Tac built. Tac has great brass (Lapua), mine is pushing 40gr vmax at around 3,950fps. 5 shot 0.5-0.6 MOA easy. Using N133 and CCI450 primers...

How does the 300 Wim Mag do on the rabbits ? The Z6 seems popular concidering the coin. That Euro Optics is a good site, I tend to drool on the keyboard when I look at that stuff LOL. Having trouble getting over 3600 with a 39 SBK's out of a 20 inch barrel!! I have CFE223,W748, Benchmark 2, 2219 and 2207 Have'nt done the 2207 yet the BM2 looks okay I am up around 27 now so getting a little heavy. Might try the N133, I have tried cci 450 and now use Rem 7.5, Very good groups just low speed 32 V Max at 3875, 3 into less than 1/2" at the mo. Hope to improve on the speed next time at range. I am thinking of a Tika Varmint in 204R and use this for the Ute at night. Who did the 20 Tac?
