+1...if it's just as good as my Z6i but the 1-8, I would love this scope.I will say that of all the ones that I know about, except the S&B and USO, the Z6i is the best. If you wait for a deal on one, you can find them around the 2K mark.
Eye box on it sucks. Turret housing is large and makes it difficult to find a mount to fit it.
Best optic Under 2k IMO is the Vortex 1-6 Razor HD.
