[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 703161, member: 34084"] Jayesh, Normally, I would say 22-25X is too high for big game at 500 yds. In this case, though, the optical quality of both scopes is quite good, so the penalty is small. I agree with mtg about the Swaro BRH or BT/4W. You could save a few bucks and some weight with the Z5 3.5-18x44. The 5-25X56 will give you 25% more range at dawn or dusk, however. Either way, the Z5 glass is stunning. Image distortion and glare are almost nonexistent. The contrast is truly outstanding. Both scopes are featherweights compared to the closest Nightforce. [/QUOTE]
