David Hancock Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 I'm weighing up my next scope. (X5(i) 3,5-18x50 P 1/4 MOA) No essays on why Sightrons are better please, just the X5. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCetrizine Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 I have the 5-25x56 and love it. I replaced my z6 with it and I think it's the best scope I've ever looked through or used. There's nothing about it that I don't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCetrizine Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Everyone always has their own opinion but based on a background as a former professional photographer, I've not seen better glass than Swarovski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sussexsteve Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 I've used one. Quite like glass as always top notch but better scopes for the money in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 I have schmidts, March,s and night forces. The swarovski beats every one of them, in every dept, hands down. I cannot find fault with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hancock Posted August 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Dave -X5 or Z8 with BT ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherlock Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 I have used the X5 and compared to the Zeiss Victory. Both are excellent in resolution - the Swaro has a more neutral colour , where are colours are richer in the Zeiss. The Zeiss beats the Swaro for FOV and brightness IMO... The turrets on the Swaro are the best have used - simply fantastic. Personally - if price is any sort of factor - the Kharles 6x24x56 ( 34m tube) is optically up there with the Swaro, but with a far biger FOV and also about £500 cheaper. Just a thought S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 David, From observational experience when you get to this level of scope it will be what your eyes prefer, Zeiss, Swaro, S&B, March, Kahles etc. do not normally make poor scopes or glass. You are talking a lot of money so get behind each of them or at least the two that you think lights your candle IMHO do not put too much sway in online/publication testing, it's biased towards each persons agenda.

Dunc Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 I have schmidts, March,s and night forces. The swarovski beats every one of them, in every dept, hands down. I cannot find fault with it. In that case, it's on my shopping list... Thanks Dave. ...an interesting review I've just read... http://www.scout.com/military/snipers-hide/story/1560301-swarovski-x5-long-range-hunting-scope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
