[QUOTE="chav0_12, post: 2842272, member: 29765"] He said he wants good glass though. 🤣 I don't think compromising for a higher magnification because you want a larger objective is a good idea. The lower bottom end magnification is probably going to serve you better, it sounds like. FFP can be tricky and is way more beneficial at longer ranges, but it's also not necessary, the one thing I like about it the most is spotting misses and determining correction values with the reticle. I'm pressure sure Zeiss makes some scopes that are more in the 2-3 power at the low end with large objectives. edit to add: So does Swarovski but you'd have to jump up into the next level of scope, which comes with a decent price increase. Me personally, I'd get the BT model of the Z5, but I don't mind dialing and have other tools at my disposal that help me with that. I'd also probably be getting the 44mm version because the Z5 I'd get would be going on an ultralight type of rifle for western mountain hunting. [/QUOTE]
