I shot this last season with 2 different rifles, a 25 creed and a 6gt. The creed wears a k624i skmr3 lsw, and 6gt a Minox zp5 mr4. I am building a new rig this year, falkor 7even, Hawkhill max varmint 28" 25 creed in a mpa matrix fully weighted up. I have been behind a zco 527 and really liked the glass. But wasn't the biggest fan the reticle or locking turrets.
Now that a guy can get non locking turrets and the mpct-3X I want one. The 420 has the dimensions I want. I rarely shoot above 12X usually around 10X. However I'm learning I need to run more magnification to be able to read the plates past 5-600y.
My local matches have a lot of 600-900y targets. So I need to start shooting at higher mag. The FOV at 15x is pretty much the same on the 420 vs the 527. I pinch my rifle against the bag with support side so the shorter scope will allow me more flexibility in positioning in lower shooting positions.
So guys who run a 420 or a 527 can you sway me one way or the other? I've got used to running long tubed scopes as the zp5 and k624i are long designs. I've actually read in a few places that he 420 has a slight optical edge over the 527 but have zero first hand experience.
