[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1225960, member: 70559"] Maybe my experience will help you. I don't have a spotting scope but had the z5 5-25X52. Once I found some antlers with the 8X42 binoculars but could not tell if it was legal. By turning the z5 up to 25X and really looking at the antlers for a few minutes I was able to determine it was legal or not. If you are not locked in because of weight, you might give the Bushnell 6500 4 1/2-30X50 a look. They are only four ounces heavier. I purchased four z5 5-25X52 and three Bushnell 6500 4 1/2-30X50 and three 6500 2 1/-16X. All four Swarovskis are gone. All three of the 2 1/2-16X are gone and one of the 4 1/2-30X50. One of the Bushnells is definitely better than any of the z5s and matches them in low light performance. Another of the Bushnells matches during good light but two of the z5s are better than it in low light. [/QUOTE]
