[QUOTE="Freebore, post: 237195, member: 873"] Iron Worker, I said it was 'nice' glass in 6500's not saying it was equal with the German glass. The glass in my Zeiss is great. You need to look thru one in the dark hours of the night. I thing that the 6500's are very 'nice' scopes and would like to own one due the power range on them. BUT I don't like the turrets. Granted you usually have time to dial up carefully when taking long range shots so you could spend the extra time needed to try and get (my) trifocals focused on the smaller turrets dials/hash marks. I have a 6.5x25x50 30mm LRT and would like to replace it with the 6500. But why if I'm going to be frustrated with the turrets. Looking thru the 6500 I think its brighter than my Leupold. Ain't it a bitch we have all these great scopes available know. I did not know that the 6500 has become available with just a straight duplex. Let's face it most of us folks that can shoot longer ranges while hunting still like to get within 500. The best we could do on the N.Platte this year in Wy. was 450yrds. for antelope (nothing but alfalfa field). My Zeiss has the same issue of being off a 1/2 has mark too. Doesn't bother me though.
