[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1274135, member: 70559"] What's best? The glass in my Nightforce 12-42X56 is way better than the glass in my Swarovski z5 5-25X52. But it is also about a pound heavier. If weight is no concern it's the one. But then I have never owned a March, much less looked through one. If you are absolutely limited to two grand you can't get either one. The next one I would consider is the Bushnell 6500 4 1/2-30X50 because it has the hydrophobic coating. Then the Leupold VX-6 4-24X52 or its big brother; which I have not seen. The glass in both is a hair better than the Swarovski z5 5-25X52. And all three are about the same for low light performance. I just remembered I compared my Bushnell 6500 4 1/2-30X50 with a Vortex Razor 5-20X. Even the owner of the Vortex agreed the glass in the 6500 is slightly better than his Vortex. I have yet to see a Bushnell 6500 2 1/2-16X that comes up to the standard set by its big brother for resolving detail on my optics chart. [/QUOTE]
