[QUOTE="shooters, post: 2072820, member: 7769"] Really need some input on deciding. I have to have the new build scopped up before end of next week! I know the major differences between the two such as FFP and SFP, parallax, windage, tube, turrets and so on. I called Swarovski and they said that they are built the exact same as far as quality control and material etc. The biggest difference is obviously design and ergonomics. They did mention that the Swarovski has updated coatings that makes the glass a little bit better if you will. So my biggest question is, being that I hunt with my optics 75% of the time and shoot steel the other 25%, I’m more concerned about reticle design and light gathering. I can’t say I’m a huge fan of any of the Swarovski reticles. I do however like the MOAK in the 525i, but worried it’s too small on the lower end. Is there anyone out there who has owned both (please, no 624 or others) of the above mentioned that can give some feedback? Is one more robust than the other, noticeably better optically, and so on? I’ve tried to watch every YouTube video out there. Also wondering if the Swarovski turrets are too dang big. I know I’ve asked before but I’m running out of time. The Kahles is also $600 for for me than the Swaro. Thanks [/QUOTE]
