And most all come off that initial 5 minute viewing saying something to the tune of "wow, yeah they're all good". We have pulled in a wide variety of shooters and non shooters to see where they would stack things (Johnny deer hunter, wives, F18 fighter jet pilots, doctors, engineers, all different walks).

One thing I would say is 10 minutes behind your buddy's rifle is not enough time to learn the glass. All scopes tested off of a rifle on a bag. The glass becomes much more objective once you have them out. They can all look different given different conditions. And I think that is one of the most useful variables when testing optics- having all samples out in equi conditions at the same time. Testing has been executed multiple days and conditions. I am no expert by any means, but I have found myself in a unique situation to have all of these optics on hand to test most I own, if not team members. Environment is sea level near the Texas coast where mirage is a way of life. I have owned most of the good stuff or done this sort of testing with nearly all of them- SB(s), NF ATACRS, Kahles (s), Vortex Razors/ AMG (s), Minox(s), TT, Swaros, Steiner (s), IOR, Leupy- Mark5. (Thank you mods/ low light for allowing us this on the site). I have obtained most of my glass as a SH exchange whore. I have gotten a handful of request to spill my guts on the results of our scope testing with the ZCO and other Gucci glass, so here goes: For reference, your source for this review is a self funded, non industry 30 something with 20/15 vision, with full fledged scope snobbery tendencies.
