[QUOTE="5RWill, post: 1436985, member: 98561"] We have a Z6 which is currently back at Zeiss in Germany being fixed because it wouldn't track though that's not indicative of the entire lineup just happened to get a lemon. Glass wise it's good i was honestly expecting a little more but for the price we got it at i wasn't really complaining. At the time i was comparing it to my HDMR II which is around the same price and the HDMR II had better resolution than the new Conquest. Though it suffered from CA pretty badly and edge to edge clarity wasn't so great. Zeiss had very good edge to edge clarity and CA control. It's to note the Zeiss turrets don't lock also, something i really liked from the HD5 series. The numbers are also small, my dad has issue seeing them at dusk if he's dialing. I've never been behind an SHV only the ATACRs which are very nice but heavy. The SHV i hear isn't quite that vibrant but has solid resolution. Though i really dislike NF reticles and their markup so i have a hard time putting money on one. I do love their ATACR series but again if i'm spending $3000+ i'm stepping up the Kahles, Minox, or Schmidt. I don't have experience with that particular Swaro but i do currently own a Kahles 624i which is the sister company of Swaro. I also have a K525i on preorder which supposedly has the same glass stack as the Swaro X5 optics (i can't confirm this), to which i'm hearing is nothing short of spectacular. Now the K624i has to date has been the brightest optic i've looked through and the resolution is up there with the heavyweights of the industry. Very reminiscent of the Schmidt PMII i looked through a month ago though with a much wider FOV and a much better eyebox. Where the Kahles K624i suffers is CA control which is so so for a $3000 optic. Now evidently that doesn't exist in the X5 and in the two new Kahles released (k318i, k525i) it's been fixed. I'd probably go Swaro honestly, just to give them a try. Assuming you still get a adequate reticle, zero stop, and decent elevation per rev. If not i'd go Zeiss. [/QUOTE]
