    Z3

    Does anyone have a z3 3-9 or 3.5-10 that they can measure the diameter of the front lense housing.
    My mate has brought a Sako vixen with mounts like the picture so need front housing of 39mm.

    My Z3 3-10 x 42 has an ocular housing outside diameter of 48 mm so probably too big for your friends rifle.
    A Z3 in 3 - 9 x 36 might work if you can check measurements ?

    Z3 3-9 39.57mm at the looking in end.
    And 42mm at the looking out end.

    1.56" (39.6mm) according to the Leupold website for a VX-Freedom 2-7x33.

    I suggest looking for a 32mm objective option, then maybe using a strip of shim to bring the OD up to the ring size if necessary?

    You need the older Zeiss conquest 2.5-8x32.
