[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1185948, member: 70559"] sp6x6, I used to think my Bushnell 6500 4 1/2-30X50 had glass as good as my Nightforce 12-42X65 when I looked at leaves and twigs. That is until I got a Swarovski z5 5-25X52. Then I made a "line" eye chart with lines and spaces about 1/4" wide. I discovered they weren't even in the same league. Starting about 200 yards and going out I adjusted each until I could clearly see the spaces between the lines. I was clear out to 521 yards before the Nightforce came off 12X. And then it was like being 12 1/4X. The Bushnell was on 15 1/2X and the Swarovski was on 16 1/2X. Also the Nightforce blew them away in low light. What this experiment told me is if something with horns was in the brush I might not be able to discern it with the Bushnell and Swarovski when I could with the Nightforce. [/QUOTE]
