[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1310262, member: 97050"] Yeah but thats just a bias I have. So im sure that doesnt help. I dont use ballistic reticles and pretty much only turn dials. still i think the steiner would be better. I heard that the hd5 doesnt do well on magnums (may or may not be true.) I feel if you are going to own a scope in that price range it ought to hold up, especially if later down the road you decide to mount on a different rifle. The steiner has a 30mm tube as well giving more light emission and durability, while the zeiss has a 1". If you are hunting that close, the HD glass might not be such a big loss. I use HD spotting scopes for hunting, since in high sierras spot and stalk, or spot and longish shot is kind of the prime method of taking muley's, its easier to see a flickering ear or an antler move when looking down into potential bedding areas. Not really a deal breaker in my OPINION with closer shooting. [/QUOTE]
