Does anyone have an experience with Swarovski's BT turret , I am wondering how accurately track and return to zero, can you trust them?

I am frequently in touch with Swaro Z8 fitted with ballistic turrets. (Z8 2-16x50 with BT)
My friend use it on 300 win mag, and I am zeoring or checking this rifle with Z8 from day one, and every time he changes the ammunition. I am doing "ballistic maintenance" on this rifle, so to speak
because he does not have time to spend on range.

All, in all, very good scope and systems, returns to zero, keeps zero, no issues.
 
Had several Z5s with turrets - never had an issue with them and found they return to zero reliably. I move away from the turrets to BRH reticle as I find it more user friendly for hunting
 
I have a Z5 3.5-18 W4 BT on my 6.5 Creedmoor truck gun and it has held zero and works great! Often turn it up for coyotes and back down for varmints around the house and it's always deadly.

Good to know, I am looking at Z6 1.7x10 or 2x12 x50, don't like the reticles offered, as I like a hold over reticle, but in this scope not much is available, so I thought maybe I would try the BT turret. I have a leopould 1x6 Patrol and it has an excellent hold over reticle , but the illumination does not work in daylight, so disgusting.
 
I have had one on my Z8 2 - 16 x 50 for 6 or 7 years

Works just fine

I have several and love them. I shoot a lot and they return to zero with no issues. If you have concerns call Swarovski's technical assist group in Rhode Island. Very helpful. I like them better than the others out there and I used all of the other top shelf optics except Trijicon.

Hi PaulB. Would you be interested in another WJ Jeffery .450/.400 NE 3". It's an extractor model and in superb condition, cased as well. Made in 1908. The rifle is here in Texas.

I will take the knife for $250 shipped. Please tell me how you would like the payment.

Thanks-
