I have a used Ruger RSM in 458 Lott. I want to put a scope on it. I have read all the posts on the site regarding the Lott and it's ability to destry scopes. For that reason I am leaning toward the 2.5 compact Leupold. However, I am wondering if anyone has used the new Swarovski Z6 1-6 x 24 EE on a heavy recoiling gun?

The Leupold is proven performer on DG rifles.

I can attest to that as well as many others.

If you go Leupold, you won't be wrong.

I would skip the Z6 and put on a Leupold VXIII 1-5 or a 1.75-6. I just don't see much advantage between the European manufacturers "American" series versus the Leupolds....

If you want a Swaro, the PH series is what gave them the reputation and a 1-4 would be my choice. Their is a clear advantage between the PHs and a Leup. Also the Schmidt and Benders work well at the same price range.

Take that Swaro Z6(i) 1-6x24 - its absolutely the best scope I have ever seen in it´s class of small magnifition scopes!!! It has an awesome brilliant picture....!!!

My bad on the Z6, that is the better line of the Swaro scopes, it is similar to the PH except for the 6X zoom multiplier, I wouldn't feel to bad putting one on a rifle... I have a PH1-4 circle dot on a 458 win mag which seems unphasd by the recoil. A friend has a PH 1-4 on his 460 Weatherby, again no probs. Should handle the recoil just fine.

I am not sure if Swaro is making the american hunter series or not, but I would reccomend against them.
