[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2394296, member: 1951"] Cross off 1…probably doesn’t hold zero. (I’m sure others will disagree with me…and that’s ok.) keep 2…..pretty heavy; short eye relief; reticles will suck on low power cross off 3…no decent Xmas tree reticles keep 4….also shorter 3.5” eye relief; reticles will suck on low power keep 5….also shorter 3.5” eye relief; pretty heavy; Obviously they are all great optics, but I don’t think I’d spend that kind of money without some clear info(like Nightforce has) that it would hold zero with a drop. I also would want a good min/max reticle appearance. I would want locking turrets for hunting. I look at my safe full of crappy FFP scopes and I see…. 1) They are all holding zero from what I’ve tested. I need to do some intentional drops. 2) They all dial to my dope exactly and back 3) they all have usable eye relief, but the Vortex’s are 3.4” and the dang scope just grazes my face sometimes. Others are closer to 4” which is better. 4) most weigh under 32 oz, but the fat one is 34oz 5) they all have an Xmas tree reticle I can see on low power short range and mil measure stuff at distance. 6) glass….sure they have that. I can see my target so it must be good enough glass, cause not good is when I can’t see….what is great glass? I generally spend $600 - $1300…I expect to compromise some. At $3500….I just want it right. [/QUOTE]
