When testing and comparing my scopes (as above) I found that focus was critical.
I adjusted both the reticle focus and the parallax focus for the range that I was viewing at (300yards).
I was curious why the 3-18x42 Z5 held on better for definition in the light than the 2.5-12x50 Z5, when I anticipated the opposite (larger objective).
I put it down to the 2.5-12 not having parallax adjustment and that (with my older eyes at least) focus is critical.
My Delta is certainly right up there with with the Swarvo 3-18 for clarity across the mag range. Ive shot hundreds of wallaby with the Delta on 18-24 power and have been very impressed.
That Burris is still fantastic value though. My self, my grandson and another lad have now shot 6 deer with it in the evening (often gloomy) and its been faultless. You don't notice the 5 mins lost light if you aren't comparing it with something, and its good right into the gloom anyway.
