[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 1095032, member: 34084"] The primary difference in the optical design is that the Z6 scopes use HD glass in the objective lens. Z5 scopes use regular glass. They use the same optics in the erector tube and eyepiece. The Z6 has a larger magnification range (6:1 vs 5:1) because the 30 mm tube allows a longer throw in the helix zoom mechanism. My favorite reticle for hunting is the BRH. I can see it in low light and it allows quick shots at ranges less than about 500 yds. Beyond 500 yds, I dial the range using the Micrometer Style Turrets. This turret upgrade is a good compromise if you want a compact scope with covered turrets.
