[QUOTE="scottyd2506, post: 1156881, member: 19778"] Sorry for the review Wildcater, but I saw what I saw. Everyone's eye are different and some of us see things different Your comparing a Swaro vs Leupold. Mine was Zeiss. I sure certain models of Sawros are better at low light than my zeiss. Sounds like yours has coating optimized for daylight. . years back I got to compare the Best Model Nightfroce 5-22x56 vs my 6.5-20x50mm Leupold and I agree with you the Nightforce looks better and seems to gather more light at high magnification. Not huge, but very noticeable This could have been due to the 50mm vs 56mm also. I can tell you that the glass on my 5-25x50 Zeiss HD5 is not the best that come out of Europe. It's not the premium high grade coating Schott glass. I think the conquest glass is made in Romania, but they use older Zeiss Schott equipment. I'm sure the Nightforce's are much stronger than any zeiss scope, they certainly have better zero stops, maybe better tracking. and Leupolds are high grade and have outstanding customer service. And in the daytime those scopes may look better than a lot of the Euro glass scopes. at Dusk Dawn (when most deer coyotes etc are out) and dark the Eruo glass is has no equals per $$ The Zeiss 5-25x56mm Victory would utterly destroy anything Nightforce could even dream about in the low light gathering department. The older tech Romanican Glass (older zeiss equipment) that is used in the Zeiss HD conquests I would still put up against vs any Nightfoce for low light hunting. Like I said the Europeans know night hunting and have done their homework through the years and are a 100 years advanced on the rest of the world. Even just glass resolution and clarity, they have no equal. Our eye's are different, and so can be our opinions on some minor subjects. To each their own. But below are facts anyone can research The US government and NASA when they wanted to build the worlds most advanced space telescope. They didn't go to Leupold and they sure didn't go to Nightforce to help them make the optics in the Hubble telescope. They didn't go to ANY glass maker in Asia. They went to Zeiss. [/QUOTE]
