"When someone pays more for a z5 Swarovski than they do for a Nightforce they expect the Swaro to be better in every respect. It isn't. It isn't even as good as my Bushnell 6500 during normal day light, but it is lighter."
Uhhhh... The Swarovski and Nightforce are about the same price. On is more of a target scope at 34 oz. and the other a hunting scope at 17.5 oz. You cant tell much about a scopes ability on game by looking at "pump house" through the scope. Why dont you get back with us on your comparisons after a year of actually hunting with them before you give your arm chair opinions?
The Nightforce Benchrest models are target scopes; their NXS line are tactical scopes and are built about as ruggedly as any scope on the market.
