in my eyes scopes are rated on 3 things clarity of glass, how well it holds its zero and the twilight factor and when ever i bought a scope these are always what ive looked for along with at a guess 95% of other stalkers which leaves me with only magnification to look at after that and this is just down to personal preferance. Over the years ive had a fair few different scopes most of which have been schmidts but now ive settled on a ziess victory diavari 2.5-10x50 t* ir which is now retailing at around £1300 with a quick look on google. So here i am with £1300 worth of scope which im more than happy with then a leaflet lands through my door this morning from scott country with all there night vision gear in including the atn x-sight which is being billed as the 1st true day and night scope which got me thinking how well does it stack up against my ziess, 1st was the clarity and atn are saying its fitted with a colour hd screen which im sure is good but i would be suprised if it beat the glass on my ziess 2nd is how well does it hold its zero and seeing as its a digital cross hair how can it ever be knocked out of zero? my ziess on the other hand is mechanical and can be knocked out of zero so thats a mark for the x-sight 3rd is the twilight factor and the atn is night vision so how can my ziess ever trump that finaly was the magnification and the atn comes in 3-12 or 5-18 so a good range there, so im giving the atn 2-1 score over basicaly any standard scope and what i havnt mention is the price bascaliy half the price of my ziess so is this the begining of the end for high end scopes? ok so maybe not but im sure its got others thinking the same as me
