[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1156301, member: 70559"] scottyd2506, It looks like you are missing out on some things. I compared my Swarovski z5 5-25X52 side by side with my Leupold VX-6 4-24X52 in good light and low light. During the good light the z5 needed 2 powers setting higher to see the same detail. It also gave a more washed out look to the colors than the VX-6. They both went down at the same time in low light. What's even worse for the z5 is it didn't last any longer in low light than my Bushnell 4200 4-16X40 when on the same setting. I have no idea where the scopes I have were made. But I can tell you none of mine are in the same league as my Nightforce 12-42X56 for good light or low light performance. By the way I don't use leaves and twigs or bark for comparing. I use eye charts and deer antlers at distance. Before I started using charts and antlers I couldn't determine the difference in a Bushnell 6500 and the Nightforce above. [/QUOTE]
