Swarovski X5

[Treash]

I ordered a 2nd one for my personal use. I am a little behind in my review article writing.

But...it will be very favorable. I am most impressed.

Any updates, Len?

Cheers

Well, that seals the deal. I'm sold. Thanks, Len!

Len, I am thinking about buying an X5 from you.

Can you tell me how it compares in size/bulk/appearance to an ATACR and the NSX?
The X5 "looks" big. The knobs look like they are huge and might affect how you carry the gun while hunting. Whatdaya think?

 

[Len Backus]

No significant issue in my 3 mos of use.

Might be a tight fit for my current horse scabbard but I will deal with that if necessary.

Look at the Review pix where it is next to the other scopes.

Thanks for the quick response Len!

I read your review and I did look at the pics. I am interested in the 3.5x18x50. It "looks" as big and bulky as the ATACR, even though it is 30mm vs34mm and 50 vs 56mm. That's why I asked what your impression was of size/bulk of the X5 compared with an ATACR. It should be smaller/less bulky than the ATACR but it's hard to tell from pictures.

I'm getting rid of my ATACR bc I feel it's too big for my Sporter sized rifle, so I don't want something just as big....that's why I put the NSX in the mix.
I'm not worried about extra money....buy once cry once, I just want to get the best match.

I appreciate your advice and I will order from you when I decide.

Anything to add to what you said based on what I wrote above?

Well, I just put one in 5-25x56 on my 6.5 # Mountain Rifle.

It replaces a much smaller 4-16x42 Huskemaw that weighed 21 oz vs 30 oz for the X5.

That description is the best way to answer your concern.
