[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 606876, member: 34084"] I did my usual glare test on the Minox 3-15X42 at the last SHOT Show. Glare performance was above average, about the same as the Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14X44. Neither one was excellent, but certainly not average either. The Vortex 4-16X50 had poor glare performance. The Vortex 4-16X44 was better, but not above average. I would not recommend either one for big game hunting. I find some variation in glare performance among Bushnell Elite 6500 scopes - mostly average to above average. The 6500 2.5-16X50 I tested at the 2011 SHOT Show had above average glare, but poor correction of on-axis chromatic aberration, which is unusual. Could have been an engineering sample, but was not labelled as such. From an optical performance perspective, you're on safe ground with those Minox and Zeiss models. [/QUOTE]
