[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1364640, member: 70559"] Absolutely NOT true. I have demonstrated the opposite to everyone who comes by. I have deer antlers 131 yards away and an optics chart 127 yards away. As far as Swarovski, I had four z5 5-25X52. They are no better than Bushnell 6500 4 1/2-30X50 or Leupold VX-64-24X52 for low light. Many, many times when playing with scopes and the deer antlers disappeared all I have to do is turn up the magnification ring. Viola! I can see it again. Here is an example of two scopes: Here is a Nightforce 5 1/2-22X56 and a Swarovski z5 5-25X52. You will read I could continue the test by turning up the magnification. I have over a hundred pages of different brands of scopes and binoculars. This was in the woods on an optics chart after sunset. I fiddled with both scopes to get the best clarity and recorded the time and magnification settings. Time: Nightforce Swarovski 6:49 14 3/4X 20X 7:01: 15 3/4X 22 1/2X 7:20 18X 23X 7:34 20X 25X At 7:37 I had to turn up the Nightforce to 21X. The Swarovski didn’t allow me to read any of the last line. A minute later I could not read anything with the Nightforce even when I switched it to 22X. When I finished I looked at my notes and noticed the Nightforce lasted three minutes longer than the Swarovski. [/QUOTE]
