[QUOTE="TheBoctor, post: 1944596, member: 107356"] Man this is the truth. I've molested pretty much every scope on the market and always ended up back with F1 ATACR's because they were good reliable stand-by's and the volume of Demo scopes at Mile High pretty much meant I could get an essentially new one for a heavy discount. The glass always looked comparable and I couldn't justify the price difference. Having said that, I shuffled some stuff around and came into possession of a slightly used S&B 5-25 PMII. After one day at the range, laying it right next to the ATACR (that I was absolutely happy with and had no issues with prior to this) and getting some real trigger time behind it and jumping back and forth in changing light conditions... brother I've seen the light! Glass quality is tough to quantify, it was obviously a little brighter but it was most obvious in the eye fatigue when the mirage would start to kick up. After shooting and then spotting a buddy's shots for 10 minutes I needed a break from the NF, but I felt like I could be under the hood with that Schmidt all day long and be no worse for the wear. Y'all who glass a lot will know what I'm talking about. It also seemed much more reactive to parallax adjustments. It was just a bunch of little stuff that you wouldn't notice looking 500yds across a parking lot or stuff you wouldn't dare mess with getting behind someone else's gun. [/QUOTE]
