Someone please help, I am between a MK5 and a 525i.... should I bite the bullet and go with the Kahles? Looking at illuminated tremor 3 vs skmr3. PRS intended use.
Having owned a Mark 5 and currently shooting the K525i i'd say just get whichever reticle you prefer. I adore the skmr3, the Kahles glass is better, turrets are far better, eyebox is better, etc. It's the better optic is it $1000 better? Idk practically speaking...no. They both work really well. Mk5 is a great option for it's price range. I think the MK5 probably has better low light performance and is lighter. Those would be the advantages i'd give it. Everything else i'd give to the Kahles.
