So, if I had 1k to spend and wanted a lightweight, roughly 3-9x scope which should I go with? Swarovski, Leupold, Nikon or Zeiss?
You've got 2 choices: Zeiss or Swarovski. I recomend Zeiss diavari victory or victory varipoint. Swarovski is also great but always comes second to zeiss in tests. Note I'am not talking about the
conquest series.
