[QUOTE="marinetowgunner, post: 817638, member: 46005"] Just my opinion, but I find the HD5 disappointing. When I saw that they were coming out with a 5x erector in a more compact package that it would be a game changer. Its compact but should be half of the weight. The glass quality is excellent but i find that all three models have a fisheye effect after you get a quarter of the way through. Maybe they should have stuck with Meopta making their scopes :D The only thing in my opinion that they got right was the locking turrets and the zero stop. Pretty clever approach to how to cheaply make a zerostop. Is the HD5 a good system.......sure. But IMHO its not a Z5 on the cheap. I would stick with the Swarovski Z5 if I were buying today.
