[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 710460, member: 34084"] As pthers have said, the Z5 has substantially better optics than the Z3. The Z5 optical contrast is very high. The contrast at 18X is better than most scopes at 9X. Image distortion is almost non-existent. The scope is very lightweight. It is also a bit short. It should fit well on a short receiver like a 300 WSM, though The only drawback of the Z5 over the Z3 is the smaller objective size. There will be a small loss of image brightness or magnification at dawn/dusk. Put another way, in low light the Z5 has about the same brightness at 8X that the Z3 has at 9X. That's a small sacrifice for greatly improved optical quality under all lighting conditions. [/QUOTE]
