Can't wait to hear your thoughts once you get some time behind it. I absolutely love the 5-30 continental.

I have eyed that one for a while, but then got the 30X discovery instead.
Now really i would like 40+ magnification.

I hope you like it. I've never tried a Continental but the Sentinel and Veyron I have do not have the same quality of glass as my Athlons. The Sentinel is a lower priced scope so that is OK but my Talos 6-24 was about the same price as my Veyron 6-24 but I find the Talos to be significantly more clear. The Veyron is smaller and lighter, however, so it has other desirable attributes. But to anybody that has both, is the glass in the Continental equivalent to other scopes with good glass? I am not trying to knock Vector scopes, they have great features and mine have been totally reliable it's just the glass quality I question.

I agree i bought a new Veyron 6-24x44 SFP and a used Athlon talos when my new veyron broke..The Athlon talos has bettter glass. I think im going to sell the Veyron...

I would love to hear more about the Vector Continental scope line, especially the glass quality and turret quality.
Those are two critical things that no factory listing of specs will tell you....
Glass/turret comparisons between Continental scopes and others like Athlon and Arken would be especially helpful.
Thanks!

I had to quit using my current Continental 5-30 because the IQ is annoying to my eyes compared to my Helos G2's and the first one broke which they replaced. This one sits in the safe as a back up. Actually the only thing I like is the reticle.
There is one Athlon scope I came across which does about the same thing though the IQ is slightly better but the turrets are superior feeling.
The newest gens of most of the brands should be improved but it cost money to find that out. Hopefully this 6-36 is like that. I tried some other brands other than Athlon and was discouraged I had done so.
