Z6 would be nice. Rather than the heavy Premier Heritage, I'd look into the LT model. BTW, Premier as a brand is falling by the wayside. The scopes appear in the future to be sold under the Tangent Theta label (geeky name, but more applicable to shooting than some others). Check out specs at http://www.tangenttheta.com/Model-TT315M. I don't know if they still have the non-illum model, which is what I had and prefer (because I never have used illum hunting and it cost less). The turrets look to be about the only change.

There's also the new Bushnell 3-12X44 LRHS, which is aimed at hunters. Has some interesting reticle aspects and 3-12 is a good mag range. The scope purportedly has uber-level glass and is made by LOW in Japan. Retails for $1500.
Don't overlook the SS 3-15. While the glass is a notch below scopes like the Premier/TT or Swaro, it's still darn usable out to the ranges you're considering. The money you save can go into more practice ammo, etc.
