Can anyone give me there opinions on the quality of glass between these different models? Are the price points worth the difference? I’m wanting a excellent top shelf hunting optic for my Weatherby MK5 in 6.5 creedmoor. Mainly a whitetail deer hunter but possibly other game in the future.
 
Z3 has a tick less glass quality that the Z5 or the Z6. The 5 and 6 have the same glass quality. I think it’s worth it to get into a Z5 vs. the Z3. I can tell a difference between the two when comparing them.

This is correct. The internals on the Z5&Z6 are also superior to the Z3

That’s said. For the 750 or so that I last saw them being sold for the z3 is still the best glass that I’ve seen for the dollar.

It would be our pleasure to assist you and discuss these scopes with you. Please give a call, 516-217-1000
