Scope opinion

[Mark M.]

What do you guys think of a Swarovski z5 5-25x52 for a single shot 22 ppc target-varmint.
These scopes are a lot of money to me and trying make the best all around choice, thanks

If you want to compete in paper matches its not enough power. If your shooting critters its plenty but there are options that will work for less money. 10x50x60 Sightronlll series pretty tough to beat for the money.

NF BR w/2-DD reticle.

The Swaro has insufficient elevation for much over 300 yds. With a 20MoA rail, you would be lucky to get on target at close range. Great glas and build quality, but save money and get a Sightron/Burris XTR/Leupold etc

If your willing to spend that kind of coin for that much power, get
a Schmidt and Bender. But then again. I'd lean towards Kahles.
Jeff makes a good point about the Sightron III but, I chose a NF
Comp with a DDR-2 over it.....Bottom line though; Whatever one
you choose, you'll be looking for something else.

I found the swarovski z5 used for about 1k, the varmint hunting would most likely be 300yrds or less, here in Michigan, thats about it

Some of the z5 scopes depending on reticle don't have an exposed turret for dialing if that matters.

Id still be looking at something else.

Delta Stryker 5-50. Hard to beat at the price point. I have one on my Vudoo and it never disappoints.

 

[TaperPin]

I doubt any of the 300 yard varmints would be easier to hit with a different scope. Although some people want to see their beady little eyeballs.

Agreed. But that 40- 50x helps on the target, especially with older eyes. Aim small, shoot small.

I think one of the best all around scopes for the OP’s purpose would be the NightForce 15x55x56 Competition.

Just purchased one, thanks CJ6, and thanks to everyone for the input.
