Okay, so I've read pretty much every single 420 to 527 comparison I can find on multiple forums across the 'web, and none of them really seem to do a great job of explaining one particular thing.
When both scopes are compared side by side at an identical power through their overlapping range of 5x-20x, is there any meaningful difference between any of the typical subjective qualities like IQ, CA, or eye box?
It seems that every comparison I have found focuses on the obvious differences like size, weight, FoV, etc., or they make a comparison at min or max zoom which isn't apple to apples.
For context, I'm currently trying to decide what to put on top of an AI AT I recently purchased. It currently only has the factory 20" 308 barrel, but I plan to add a 24+" 6.5CM barrel in the future.
