I don't know every scope spec out there ,to many, there maybe something in SB,but it's hard to find something more clear with light gathering power than this X5i

I did not know that JD, I just know Swarovski has good glass. To be honest I was most interested in the turret and the eyebox. The eye relief on this scope is excellent, that’ll come in handy while still hunting.
