Interesting test on top tier scopes.

[Casscade]

Thread on SH is interesting on some of the top tier scopes of today. Leupold is holding its own as well as NF, which isn't surprising. They seem to have had a few nice surprises, that said it also looks like they may have gotten a few duds, happens even in the best scopes and binoculars. I've seen it more times that I'd like for the kind of coin they ask for these things.

Thanks for posting this. I am glad I was never rich enough to buy a Tangent Theta.

Thanks for posting this. It's refreshing to see a structured, "objective" approach to comparing the clarity between these scopes. While clarity isn't the only attribute I look for in a scope, it's pretty high up on the list given my old eyes.

Yes me too, I own two night force I only had to sell a kidney to get them but tangent theta is out of my league.

Looks like this data is getting old

Mark5 seems to be the most popular prs scope I have seen while at a few matches

CS Tactical are some solid guys and a larger dealer for ZCO. Look up the Dark Lord of Optics on the Hide. He does some extensive testing and has some amazing insights.

Is there still any love for the nxs I am on my third one tracking has always been Flawless which is the only thing I care about my eyes are getting old but for the money in the country I live in at 3000 bucks each it's all I can afford I'm willing to sacrifice clarity for tracking as I only shoot mid afternoon anyway

I sold mine once I played with my leupold vx6. I loved the nxs but the leuy came out ahead for a hunter for sure.

My reply on the hide as follows and it's just my two cents. YMMV!:

Accuracy of turret movement, is 1/4 MOA or 1/10 MIL adjustment truly those values & Repeatability after changing elevation and windage, return to zero as what you would see in a box test would need to be in it for me. Personal opinion. I could have the best glass as one would interpret from the results, but it would not be worth a dime if the scope could not maintain repeatability and accuracy of measurement when making changes to the windage or elevation turrets. My two cents worth and I think Cal at Precision Rifle blog had a pretty good evaluation several years ago on his site.

Strange. I don't see March in the list
