Does taphapi sports stock other brands or mainly leupold?
@Huntn I have just been through this, ended up buying one second hand but was offered a new ex demo cheaper after I had paid for it.. Will PM you :)
Wilhelm Arms and optics will often be pretty sharp
Thanks for the replies and PM's. Have scope sorted now.
Same Question...Quote:

I bought mine from Mark at Southernwild and he was great to deal with :thumbs:
Like all Swaros the optics are very good, but the Z5 is limited to about 13.5 moa come up. So you are limited to about 700 - 750 yards for most calibres.
Let us know when mate. I’ll be keen.Quote:

The other thing I like about the scope is it is very light so you can use the riffle as a bush gun and also for long range not like those big scopes which weigh a ton and you can hardly lift the bloody thing. I'm happy with the purchase and would recommend.Quote:

Found the box. It is this model #111980. Pay to google that so you know what I am on about. Been replaced now by the VX-6HD which RRP $2599.00 .Quote:

+1 @7mm Rem Mag, yes they are nice and light. And 700 - 750 yrds on my 300WSM is plenty far enough for my hunting. And yes you can reach out further using the post, but from memory?? I thought the top of post on standard plex reticle was 4 moa ?
On 18x its 10.5 on mine but this is a the 4W not the standard duplex. . Being SFP you can increase the value by reducing the magnification so on 9x it would be 21 etc tc
$209 for a custom turret I believe, I'm going to try it with the standard one at the moment but I do have the load sorted and have field tested the distances should I go for a custom turret. The amazing thing was when I field tested my distances after setting it up with Swarovski's recommendations it was bang on at every distance out to 500 meters. The boys at Swarovski really know their stuff :shave:Quote:
