I think it was still darker at 27X than the 5-27 is.
I am a HUGE fan of the ZCO 5-27 but felt the 8-40 had a few issues that would prevent me from buying one including:
- Lower elevation adjustment. I hear you can get more out of it but the 5-27 wins
- Dark image above 30X.
- Length
To really be honest, I like my NF 7-35 better than the ZCO 8-40.
I don’t think you can predict the performance of the TT 5-25 to the TT 7-35. We will have to wait until they’re in the wild. I am debating on what to put on my new TacOps rifle when it shows up in a few months. Hopefully, the TT 7-35 and the new version ZCO 5-27 will both be available by then.
