[QUOTE="joseph, post: 467121, member: 19151"] Unless I am reading the specs. wrong on the Z5 the light transmission is only 90% and it does not have very much elevation adjustment probably because it has a 1 inch tube. Nikon advertises that their scopes have a light transmission of 95%. This site is mainly for long range shooting and it seems to me that the Z5 may not be a good choice for long range shooting. For about the same price you could get a NF with a EBR 1 or 2 reticle and then get a custom turret matched up to your rifle. For about 1/2 the price you can get a Vortex Viper PST FFP scope with illuminated reticle. I have a 6-24x50mm PST MOA with illuminated reticle and a custom turret. I think it is a very good long range scope.
