I have the Zeiss 5x25x50mm HD5 and the parallex Dial felt like it was slipping. Had to adjust it to infinity image to focus at 100yds ? Callede Zeiss up they said send it ! Few days later when I was packaging the scope ,the Parallex dial seemed ok ? Sp I still sent it back saying I di8dn't want this to fail on the dream hunt . I wonder what's wrong ?

I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.

Why does it take so long ? What are the odds of them replacing it with a new scope ?

My very first tractor. A-C HD5AG. Had a 6 bottom plow and 24' set of rodweeders for it. Open cab, although my dad found an old wood cab for it for spring and fall work.

I guarantee that Zeiss has at least 10x's more scopes returned for failure than Nightforce does!! There is a reason why the military does not use Zeiss Conquest scopes for our soldiers......

Zeiss sells 200x the amount also betting. Im sure there are a few pole-smokers on SH buying 30oz Nightforces to kill stuff at 85 yds though.

The HD5s are made in Germany, so I guess that's why they have to go back there if in need of repair. The previous Conquest were made here in the USA and IIRC, were also repaired here in the US. I sent a Dialtal (made in Germany) in to have the reticle changed and ASV+ turrets installed. It had to go back to Germany to be done, and because of that, the process was VERY lengthy. John

My shots run anywhere from 10 yards to 100 yards on my property. Which Nightforce would you recommend?

I think you're just being a smart ass now...
I just watched a show on Bubbavision where the guy shot a Dall sheep at 200 yards with his Nightforce cranked up to 20X
Using that as a guideline, for your property, you'll need a 1-10X variable....

I'd splurge and go with nosler custom ammo because it costs more.

Along with the others mentioned, are the barrel De-Resonator, and maybe a dozen more I don't know about.

If "the barrel De-Resonator" is the rubber donut looking thing one occasionally sees they work! At least they sure did on the two rifles I tried them on.

Congratulations. You just won a copy of my prototype Cough Silencer-Ground Grunt'r combo.  Alert: supplies are limited but if you respond immediately you also receive two rolls of Real Tree camo toilet paper.
