[QUOTE="GoosePilot, post: 3044765, member: 104513"] My x5i is brh. In my opinion for a walking, packing hunting gun I really like small and compact. 3.5-18x is more than enough. No big knobs sticking out, 1lb, 44mm objective, not going to pull trigger on big game beyond 800-1000 so 1" tube is sufficient. In 4-5 years of hunting and range time both z5 are tracking perfectly. I have not used the illumination for any situation yet. So far in my hunting experience I'm not giving anything up with the z5 line. Half the weight, half the size, half or third the cost. What's not to like? Maybe I don't know what I dont know?? In 800-1200yd plate practice in 15-25 mph gusting winds, ya I'm giving up some windage vs the custom bench set ups I'm shooting with/against (and several of those guys are serious shooters). My biggest issue when competing with these guys is just my lack of experience in reading wind and my process of setting dopes for shots. It's not instinctive for me yet as I'm just self taught in last few years. [/QUOTE]
