its your call, do what you feel.

My philosophy is its cheaper to buy the best now, than to buy whatever, and replace it down the road. I've never gone for the cheap scopes, only scopes I use to buy were nikons or leupold vx-iii, not too long ago I picked up a swarovski PH, and there's no denying that it is certainly at another level compared to the other 2. Other 2 are plenty good, but that swaro is just about perfect, mechanically, and visually, everything about it i like, which typically when I purchase something, its not perfect, or lacking something here or there, not this, I couldn't ask for more, and now they have the Z6.

Everyone's situation is different, but I think far too many people use the I can't afford it excuse, when in reality that means, I'd rather spend money elsewhere, or I won't give up smoking, etc...etc...
