[QUOTE="zog, post: 1711340, member: 102742"] I am bringing this to the top rather than to start a new thread. Found this discussion using the search and it's a very good read. Right now I am making the same decision about a new scope. I have never hunted with a dial-a-range, but I have shot with them at the gun range and can certainly feel the advantage . . . all of your concentration goes into the center cross. For my price range, I like the Z5 for the visibility in poor light. Unfortunately Swaro does not make both dial-a-range and hold-over lines in one scope. WHY?!? Why can't they offer it with both? Here's a rather common scenario for me (different than the 10 second decision) - I spot my animal, stalk in a ways and find a good setup. While setting up, animal's moving away, stopping, moving away, etc. Spotter is calling out ranges. Sometimes you only have a few seconds of broadside to hold and squeeze. I can't see myself looking up, dialing in, then acquiring target again, especially in high magnification. For me, 600 yds is absolute max for hunting right now, and the situation would have to be near perfect for that. I frequently find myself in 350-500 yard situations. So I think I'm leaning toward the bullet drop reticle Z5, or switching brands and giving up the lowest-light advantage and find a maker with both on one scope. I'm just posting and bringing this to the top to see if anyone has more experiences or comments . . . [/QUOTE]
