[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 2218514, member: 70559"] I will start at the bottom of your post. You make some claims and don't want anyone to respond?! You perhaps have some superiority complex where you think you can influence others. You come here attacking a guy who has compared lots of scopes with lots of different people. Those who have brought scopes to look at my optics chart 127 yards from the porch agree with my findings. To claim you don't like confrontation and then post the garbage you did shows you don't understand words. To say that I am "awesome" and in the same paragraph try to convince people who have not experienced what I have that I am wrong is practically criminal. Do you want me, who has looked through both the March and different Swarovskis, to agree with you the Swarovski glass is as good as that in the March? You are delusional. One of my friends who has lots of expensive optics brought two of his scopes to compare on my optics chart. One was a Swarovski z6 5-30X50 and the other was a Swarovski z8i 2.3-18X56. He laid them down on the sandbags next to the Bushnell. It took him about one second to look through the z6 and the 6500 to say, "I always thought that one wasn't very good." He sold it the next week. When it came to the z8i it was a totally different story. It was probably what the engineer had in mind. It was noticeably better than my Bushnell. In fact it was more like the March. But, just like the four z5 5-25X52 I purchased no two had glass as good as the good z5 I kept and used. That is perhaps the way that 2.3-18X was. By the way, before I got the optics chart I thought the Bushnell was as good as the Nightforce. Back then I was comparing them on leaves and twigs in the trees about 150 yards away. The optics chart showed me the Bushnell is not even in the same optical league. By the way I ordered a March 2 1/2-25X52 FD 1. [/QUOTE]
