I had one of the older Z5 models ( before the i ). It was really clear but something was weird to me about it. Either the FOV seemed small for what it was or the eye relief was short. It's been so long ago now I can't remember. I really wanted to like it too.

I've got the za5 HD 3-15x56mm. I like it pretty well
Check out scopelist.com James, you may can find it cheaper there

Personally,I wouldn't if for no other reason than it's discontinued. If that's the case and it goes south they may replace it with a different model and no telling what you will get,especially since the value of their new models is greatly inflated. What I mean is that they often give a MSRP value 3 times greater than what they actually sell for,making it look as if you are getting a bargain. I would be concerned that they would replace a scope with the MSRP estimated value.
My question would be how precise is that scope in it's dialing,since you are obviously looking for a long range target type scope. I would recommend something with a solid reputation for repeatable adjustments and durability. Take a look at SWFA SS line and the Nightforce SHV line.

I don't know James.I probably wouldn't be hunting with that scope anyway unless I had a huge field and was sitting in a shooting house that I drove my 4 wheeler to.It would be too powerful and too heavy otherwise. If that was the case though,I might save and maybe look for a used Nightforce with illumination. You know that's what you really want anyway.LOL

I am definitely going to drive that to the shooting house.

I don't have any experience with that exact scope but I hunt with a 5-25x56 scope on my 6.5 Creedmoor a lot. I was worried at first that it would be to much magnification but I love it for hunting. I've killed deer from 10yds to 400yds with it and haven't had a problem doing so. Glass quality, reliable tracking, target style turrets and an illuminated reticle that you can adjust the brightness WAY down and you will have a fine hunting rig.
