[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 2175364, member: 103303"] The 5-25 is a better optical design. Unfortunately, rhe 3.6-18 makes comprises to achieve the short length. Maybe it's worth the sacrifice if you need to be short and light, but one other thing to keep in mind - the 35mm tube is BIG. I can see it making sense for those running an enclosed forend, but the small objective mounted high isn't ideal on a 'sporter' rifle. Personally, and for my needs I would take the 5-25 over the 3.6-18. It's actually not a lot heavier, just longer. [/QUOTE]
