[QUOTE="JohnT, post: 389320, member: 12485"] I have a Zeiss 6.5 - 20 x 50 and a Sightron SIII 8-32 x 56 and for image quality no comparison Sightron far and away the best. The image quality is better than my Pentax spotting scope with a 65 objective. The edges of a target look clear and sharp whereas with the Zeiss they can get a bit fuzzy at higher magnifications. Click adjustment seem OK although have not checked about how repeatable. In fact I thought the Sightron glass was every bit the equal to my friends Nightforce NXS 5.5 - 22 x 56 at half the price. Don't know if they have been able to maintain the quality though as I had to wait about 3-4 months to get mine so the supply came in dribs & drabs. Possibly getting QC right was the reason production rate was so low in the beginning. The Zeiss is good but the Sightron was exceptional. Not crazy with the target dot reticle though as it will be used for varminting and its a bit too fine for my liking. For target work excellent. regards JohnT [/QUOTE]
