    As suggested up top by kiwijames, I can't seem to fault the March 2.5-25.. I'm running the 42mm, which admittedly ain't overly flash in low light.. But could go 50mm? Size, weight, tracking, mag range all fits the bill

    Less mag would mean getting away with a smaller lense and hence less weight.
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.

    The mag range is the most important bit to me

    Plenty if you use the standard turret and no zero stop. Only 13.5 MOA with ballistic turret.

    I get to 700 in the summer months and 630 in the winter.
    Not good enough for steel but plenty for me at the range I will ever shoot animals.

    He's got one, but just can't bring himself to admit how much he really likes it, on his ( I love my R93 to bits ) Finnlight.... I expect the Z5 will be mine soon enough.....

    +1 for HD5, bloody good glass & real hard to beat on value for $. I read on one of US forum websites about making your own zero stop from a nylon washer (longrange hunting forum i think)
