A while back I was contemplating between the two scopes for my long range hunting rig, kept going back and forth but ultimately went with the x5i with the 4wx-i reticle, now I’m not so sure I made the right choice.
I’ve stretched the x5i out to 1000yds and it performed excellently, but that’s off the bench. This will be the first hunting season with it and just packing it around the past couple days it seems the big turret on top might be it’s only flaw, I’m worried it might get in the way.
The elevation turret on the ATACR is much lower than the Swarovski, I’m just wondering if there’s enough difference in the optical clarity that I should stick with the x5i or if I should make the switch to the sleeker design of the ATACR? I don’t have the ability to look at both scopes side by side so I’m hoping someone here has.
