[QUOTE="scottyd2506, post: 856044, member: 19778"] You should check it out at night time. last year I bought a Nikon 6-18x40mm and compared to it to my 1994 Leupold 6.5-20x50mm. both set on 18 power at night I could not tell the difference in brightness and clarity. I figured the 50mm would edge out the 40mm, but glass coating of today are a little better. Now add the Zeiss 5-25x50 and it is HUGE improvement compared to the other two scopes. Esp at night time. Like I said in the last post, my friend has a nice 6-24x50mm Vortex PST. Every time he looks through my scope he says "WOW" and how much more clear it is than his scope. Even today at the range, he said the same thing. I've looked through his scope, and I like it, even at 24x it is clear and sharp! it is just not as bright and colorful as the Zeiss. I am not bashing the Vortex, it is worth much more than the $750, it has illuminated cross hairs (something the HD5 does not), it comes with a nice sunshade (the HD5 does not come with one). The Zero stop I took off. (as it only has 16.5 moa with it on)I only have 10 MOA left on the bottom of scope setting anyways, after my 20 moa base, and 15 moa inserts on my Burris Signature rings. if ur a zero stop junkie, then this is not the scope for ya. Personally I cam do without zero stop. it's a hard pick between the PST and the HD5, for the money they are hard to beat. [/QUOTE]
