What's ur choice for target rifle optic? Not competition.

SIII 8-32x56 mil dot reticle
Zeiss HD5 5-25x50 z800 reticle
Burris Veracity 4-20x50 ffp
SWFA 16x

First three about same price, swfa alot cheaper

SIII 8-32x56=Steaming pile of s**t. Side focus wheel is like the tuner on a cheap radio--you keep trying to fine-tune it, but nothing comes in clear for very long. Numbers above 20 on the zoom adjustment could just as well be quantified in levels of disappointment. Never seen so much glass and weight offer such a forgettable package.

Ok...

I was actually leaning towards the Zeiss HD 5, I have two conquests 4.5-14 and they're great. So figured the hd5 has to be better....

Don't think I need the ffp of the Burris.

Have one 16x swfa and limited time behind it so far. But seems really nice.

How about the Cabela's instinct euro? These are same as the Zeiss conquest right?

Anyone know the specs on these instinct euro... Elevation/windage range?

I purchased a Zeiss HD5 5-25x50 and was sorely disappointed. In the low light test it went down twelve minutes before the Swarovski z5 5-25X52, Leupold VX-6 4-24X52, and the Bushnell 6500 4 1/2-30X50.

Unless you must have a variable power, this will do it all just fine for basic target shooting.
