The thread question was more about quality and how people rate them.
Leupold vx5 are stupid money now and although swaro z5 and z6 have wonderful glass I am too scared to even fart near them as they damage easily.

Probly don't even have to fart . . . I'm a recent convert to NF after a Ziess and Leupold Vx 3 both recently failed to hold zero, and there have been Swaro Z5 and VX5s in the past, long since sold as they didn't perform to my expectation. The 3-10×42 SHV has only been out on the hill once so hardly a long-term test. However after several weeks of use I can say the glass is actually very good, better I think than anything around the same money with the possible exception of Sightron S11s Big Sky and S111s. So far I'm very pleased with the NF 3-10s performance, was on the range very briefly this arvo to re-zero after a rings upgrade and it dialed exactly. It's a keeper.
