[QUOTE="thwatson2, post: 1904911, member: 56839"] Good glass, like that in Zeiss, Swarovski and Schmidt Bender is achieved through quality glass cutting/forming and great coatings. The coatings are paramount in clear image from center to outside edges of the FOV. The coatings are also responsible for brightness. If you hunt long distance or at dusk and dawn, this becomes very important.. the quality of components in the scope are just as important. If you can’t hold zero or dial in an MOA adjustment consistently, then glass quality means nothing. Compare your scopes by looking at something with writing on it at 200 yards. Look for the clarity and distortion. Then manipulate the windage and elevation. Are the adjustment crisp and consistent? Use other folks opinions and I think you will figure it out. I have looked through and used some scopes you mentioned. They are fine for 100 yard day scopes, but you may want to invest more for long range or hunting near dark, just my opinion [/QUOTE]
