Zeiss seems to have a real winner with the HD-5 series scopes. I certainly like my two RS 600 scopes on both my .270 and the 7mm Rem Mag. Zeiss really nailed the needs of the average hunter with this scope and the reticle designs as well.
I also mounted and adjusted the Leica 2.5-10x42 ED scope yesterday. They (Leica) did not supply me with the 1.3 mm Allan wrench which they promised and fortunately I found one in another box or I would be SOL by not being able to adjust the turrets back when they hit their stops at the end of 2 dial rotations. I was able to figure this out easily enough and have backed up the elevation turret to cover the extra area that I needed in order to zero the scope. Piece of cake and slick design feature on these turrets.
It is going to be some work on my part to design a definitive test that will describe both the HD-5 Zeiss and the ED Leica features and qualities. Plus, comparing these to all of the other great scopes which I have will be a challenge. I will conjure something up to try and make these tests fair and descriptive of these scopes in the next few days. I hope that I can do justice to both of these maker's products?
