[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 2239474, member: 70559"] After the less than stellar results of the Swarovski z8i 3 1/2-28 I ordered a March. Apparently one March is not equal to the last March. I post this because the last March 2 1/2-25X52 I compared with my Bushnell it was not necessary to go back and forth to discern which one was better. The March was like the Schmidt & Bender I compared with my Bushnell. Both of them were instantly and obviously noticeably better. But here's the result of yesterday's comparison. [B]July 14, 2021[/B] 93 degrees, sunny target. [B]March 2 ½-25X52 FD-1 illuminated (23.9 ounces) and Bushnell 6500 4 ½-30X50 (22.0 ounces)[/B] I adjusted them as well as I could on the optics chart 127 yards away. The March shows better color on the plants than the Bushnell, but not as good as the Leupold VX-6 4-24X52. I set them both on 25X. The March was barely better with both allowing me to see 4-1. 4-1 means I could discern the first group of lines on the forth scale. When the Bushnell was turned up to 30X it was barely better than the March on 25X. But it is max against max. About 8:20 I set them both out again to look at the deer antlers in the woods 131 yards away. The lowest setting for the Bushnell allowing me to see the antlers was 8 1/2X while the March setting was 5 1/2X. I couldn’t see them with the Bushnell until I found them with the March. [/QUOTE]
