Hey guys, went to look at a swarovski z5 scope i wanted to purchase at a local sporting goods store, when handling it i noticed it had a z3 sticker on the scope. The scope was the 3.5-18 model so i believe it is a z5 as the z3 is only made up to 4-12 power. Has anyone seen something like this before? Could this scope be a fake? Thanks!

I haven't looked in a while but I believe you are correct about the 4-12. Sounds like they stuck a z3 label on a 5.

Ask for the Z3 price

Is this a reputable store where you could take it back if fake?

Yes sir been in business for a long time and no doubt they will make it right if purchased, just wondering if anyone had ever ran into something like this. Thanks

Call Brandon Adams with Swarovski and give him the serial number. He will tell you exactly what you are looking at.
