[QUOTE="Paladin300, post: 2959811, member: 115299"] I just simply disagree. I think they are apples to apples for reliability and testing shows that. They are both tough as nails, they have to be, but the glass in the Lupy is better and therefore in my opinion it gets the edge. That said the glass in the NF Atacr is not far behind but when the goal is 3620 yards plus every little bit counts and the Luepold is really the only one I have looked through at that distance that is really usable. My S&B 5-25 and Mark 5 and the Atacrs in the 5-25 range I have and have used all fall short at around 2000 yards. My eyes aren't what they use to be. That said the 5-25 Atacr is by far the best of the those scopes. The TT and ZCOs are excellent as well but the 5-25 NF shines in low light as the contrast makes up the difference. In broad daylight or even overcast situations the other two are brighter but the NF picks up more in low light. I believe that is what testing shows as well. Again I think it depends on the application, Mag range and price point as to which is better. However, I would agree that NF Atacr 5-25x56 is the best bang for your buck. I just prefer the controls on my S&B and I really like the ZCO particularly the 3-20. I have not had an opportunity to use the new 8-40 they just release.
