[QUOTE="JAM07Sport, post: 1924607, member: 70361"] I don't know what the old V4 was like. I wanted a Zeiss for awhile and with the current promo I finally got one. It is the V4 6x24x50 with capped windage and exposed elevation. I feel like I paid for the features because the glass is not what I expected and mine is hard to keep focused. I have multiple Sightron SIII and Vortex gen 1 and 2 vipers. The glass does not compare to the Sightron SIII or the Vortex Gen 2. I am disappointed because I though Zeiss would blow them all away with clarity. I don't know why but after taking a shot or 2 I have to refocus the scope to get it clear and it is a really small window where the target and the reticle are clear. As far as light gathering again Vortex and Sightron I can see clearly longer into the night. The good things are the zero stop its solid and easy to use. Tracking is on so far only about 200rds on the scope but dialing a good bit. The Zeiss Rings are nice but way over priced if you don't get them for free. One of the things I did notice was the scope does not whitewash the reticle when you are looking into the sun. So the coatings must be good. So I would say go V6 if you can afford it. I saw the illumination mentioned I have it on a couple scopes and have never used it. The better scopes have always had enough light I did not need it. The V4 has a very good illumination. its bright even in the sun. [/QUOTE]
