[QUOTE="Shooter264, post: 2924442, member: 23746"] I’ve had both the Kowa 553 and the Swaro Atc and have used both extensively. I love the Kowa glass for a full size spotter, in fact I sold my swaro ATX system and switched to Kowa. For a compact spotter, you’re far better off with the Swaro as the eyepiece is the same size as the atx system and is a pleasure to glass behind for long periods. The Kowa 553 eyepiece is small and is terrible for long glassing sessions. The 40x vs 45x between the Swaro and Kowa is hardly noticeable when comparing side by side. Personally if I could only own one spotting scope, I’d stick with the full size Kowa but fortunately I am able to own several spotting scopes and they all have their purpose. Good luck with your decision. [/QUOTE]
