I bought one from them last month in the 3-15x42. It is ridiculously good. If you are looking for a scope you won't beat this price or cameralands service.

I'm all about having a quality scope and so this thought comes to mind often, how much good is it in comparison to say a regular Zeiss Conquest 3x9x40...
I see a lot of manufactures making the HD scope trying to compete or generate sales.
Just curious has anyone compared these new HD scopes at dust and how much more can you actually see... is the higher cost worth the difference?
Not trying to question anyone buying one, it's just I do this often after I buy something...

Keep an eye on their open box specials. You can get a great deal on them.

That reticle absolutely sucks for hunting in any type of wooded area. You cannot see the reticle in low light and is way too busy for quick target acquisition. The #4, #20, and #60 are much better hunting reticles.

The HD5 is a sweet scope. Same exact lenses and coatings as the Victory line 3 years ago.
