The "bigger" difference between the 3-18 and 2.5-15 is the objective diameter, to me that is what you're getting with the 3-18 that really differentiates, not just in brightness but also being very forgiving to get behind.I couldn't agree more. The original reason I went with the 2.5-15 is on Eurooptics website it shows the SCR reticle was in red. I wanted a red reticle as the SCR2 reticle I received was in green. To my dismay, when I received the 2.5-15 with the SCR reticle it also was green. I gave EO this information and they still show a red reticle on their website. The 2.5-15 is an inch shorter, 4 oz lighter, 8 ft better at low magnification for field of view and the kicker is I did not notice a difference at all between 18x and 15x so I went with the latter as this scope is mounted on my hunting rifle.![]()

On paper that is correct. However, I noticed no discernible difference when they were side by side and I looked through them well past dusk. Also keep in mind that with the 56mm objective you have to raise the scope up pretty high. I didn't like the way it sat on my rifle with extra high rings. It wasn't a natural fit for me. I also liked the larger illuminated reticle of the SCR. 6 mils of illumination vs 3 mils in SCR2.The "bigger" difference between the 3-18 and 2.5-15 is the objective diameter, to me that is what you're getting with the 3-18 that really differentiates, not just in brightness but also being very forgiving to get behind.
Your reasons above are valid and worthy of consideration. It is strange that Steiner offers different reticles for the different scopes.On paper that is correct.

Just read through all 22 pages of 1,054 posts. Gotta say this thread holds pretty true for how many posts it has. Sometimes it goes a little off track into the weeds a bit, but always comes back to the original topic. I really appreciate @Glassaholic, @Huskydriver and @Rob01 massive input.
One question to anyone/everyone. Other than post #855, I don’t see any real side by side comparisons to the MK5HD?
I’m building a switch barrel rifle that will have all the different GT variants and have been looking at the MK5 7-35.
But the T6 has peaked my interest considerably.
Has anyone done a side by side of a
Mk5 5-25 vs a 5-30 t6?
Inquiring minds want to know

My apologies. I've been really busy at work.@Magsz18 did you ever get a chance to try the t6 next to your mark 5?
