There not cheap, but you want crystal clear optics?....Z6 is hard to beat. In low-light, it was brighter than my S&B. I started with one Z6 and now have a few. Z6's suck!!! Just because you got a deal on re-furbished Z6's, they're the best................... You're a bone-smoker!! Last edited by 300MAG; 07/27/11.

The ultimate in Tactical optics. My bud has the 6-24x72 mounted on his .22 and you can see the bullets hit the target at 100 yards. I run the 4-16x56FF and even when I take the can cover off, the optics just cut through that heat mirage easier than a dead person voting in a Chicago election. When I was runnin g a Loopy, I had to stop shooting to let the can cool. WioldinfairnesstheglassonthediavariswilldothesameasthehensoldtAlaska ��2002-2011 Last edited by Wildalaska; 07/27/11.

StrayDog Campfire Tracker S Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 7,126 Texas	Originally Posted by Reloader7RM I'd have to say that out of my current stock that the Conquest and Monarch Gold line are probably the most crisp to my eyes, but still lacking. Maybe it's my eyes getting worse, but it just seems like most of my scopes are a little blurry. It may be my eyes as well, but most scopes when adjusted for me to see the reticle clear and crisp the image dowrange is slightly blurred or clouded, clear up the downrange image and the reticle gets a little screwy. Of the scopes I currently have the conquest is noticeably better at this than the Minox and Leupy's. I had a Burris Black Diamond 3-12x50 with 30mm tube when they first came out and I remember it being exceptional clear. Even in the high humidity of the gulf coast, I could usually picke up the bullet holes on the 3 hundred yard targets. It was also a huge heavy feeling scope and I let it go with a rifle to a guy that wanted it more than I did. Happy Hunting

andrews1958 Campfire Regular A Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 2,390 Maine	Originally Posted by andrews1958 Just purchased a March 10x60x52. I have all of the high end scopes "Zeiss, S&B and Swarovski" and by far the March is the best. I have never looked through a scope as clear as the March. They are very $ but well worth it if you want one of the best scopes money can buy http://marchscopes.com.au/march-10-60-x-52-tactical-scope-review.html

At the range I'll focus for reticle clarity. The CENTER will hold. Reality, Patriotism,Trump: you can only pick two FÜCK PUTIN!

Yes it does which is why I rate the hensoldt higher. I was merely refering to the Diavaris ability to cut through heat mirage.

The clarity is simply amazing and with the 1st focal plain reticle if you can see the animal you can see you'll see the reticle. It's an amazing optical instrument! It wasn't cheap but I've never regretted buying it. Terry
