[QUOTE="JTH, post: 2676906, member: 59647"] I‘ve got the 5-25 TT and it is a phenomenal scope. I don’t have any experience with the 5-27 ZCO. My 4-20 ZCO had serious washout issues when shooting to the West at dusk. Screwing on the sunshade extension to the objective tube virtually eliminated the problem. I haven’t noticed this as much on any of my TT’s or Swarovski’s. I was on a hunt in Texas last year, setup one afternoon on a high vantage point to shoot hogs off of several feeders. One of the feeders about 300 yards away went off an hour late, maybe 10 minutes of useable light left. I had one of my TT 3-15x50’s and as great as these scopes are I was surprised how hard it was to make out a hog as it came in at this time of day (it was a black hog and the feeder was in a small clearing surrounded by trees and brush, plenty of shadows, pretty tough conditions for any optic and was still able to get the job done with a head shot), I’m splitting hairs here but I know the Swaro Z8i 2.3-18x56 would have been brighter under those conditions. To be clear, these are all great scopes, they each have their strengths, and the weaknesses are minor. [/QUOTE]
