Zeiss HD5 5-25x50 - 02/01/15
Yesterday I did some longer range shooting. It was drizzling the entire day with only brief periods of no rain but very overcast. One of the rifles is a 5.6x47L with a HD5 5-25 on it. I shot one round at 100 yards to get a zero and then went to a plate I had set up at 540 yards. I had to dial the parallax all the way to infinity to get rid of most of it. The image was never very sharp; definitely inferior to my Bushnell Elite 6500.
We were also shooting a 7WSM with a Vortex 6.5-20 on it and that scope crapped out about halfway through our shooting session!
Biggest disappointment was the Zeiss though. I was thinking of getting one and now I surely won't.
