[QUOTE="Buano, post: 459579, member: 21641"] Those test results do not surprise me. Much of European hunting is done by moonlight. This requires glass & coatings that let hunters aim accurately with very little light. In the lower 48 states, almost no hunting is allowed at night, so US made optics are designed to meet these needs, which obviously don't require as good of glass as European hunters need. Additionally, "cheap" optics are almost unheard of in Europe. It is good to see Leupold finally making optics the European community will consider. Nightforce's forte has always been indestructibility and a huge range of adjustment that is necessary for very long range shooting — and not their optical quality. Their glass & coatings are good, just not when compared to the best. [/QUOTE]
