6 mills of adjustment, 3oz, 5 vs 7 on the lower end.
On the flip side, 25x vs 35x on the high end.
I have a 5-25 on a 243ai with a 20moa rail. I can get 3 turns on the turret still. I never really need more than 1 turn.
I can dial 28mill for 500 on my .22. kinda silly, but fun!
I've been considering a pr2 reticle, and I think I would buy another 5-25 just for the adjustment. Sitting behind a 5-25 and a 7-35 at the same time, I didn't notice any great difference on the top end for normal 1200 yard shooting. I'd save the weight unless you're in a mirage free environment and going 2k+.

Thanks for your input I was just hoping that the 7-35 doesn't have a tighter eye box
I didn't notice a real difference between them. It was more forgiving than an NX8 4-32, and not much different than a ZCO 5-27. Starting to hangout with some scope snobs anymore.
