[QUOTE="Glenn Tullius, post: 2806738, member: 110556"] My vote overall is for the NL Pure 10x32's. I sold my EL10x42's last year, and have absolutely no regrets. I have hunted almost all of the Western states for a long time, and the Pure's can handle any situation. Go to Swarovki's site and compare the two. 7 oz. lighter, 65 ft. fov better at 1000 ft. Close focus is astonishing at 7 feet. I was actually contemplating selling my Leica 7x42's that I use for bowhunting. Don't laugh, those Leica's are super light, super bright, with a large fov, close focus, for the woods bow hunting I do, and would work well for archery elk in the deep timber to. I have gone to 15x56 SLC's for spotting, over my Leupold spotting scope as well. I thought the forehead stop looked interesting on the swaro's so I added that and it really helps to keep your eyes from getting to close and fogging. I also use the winged eye cups to reduce that stray bright mountain sun in the am/pm times. Excellent combination. I have not had to use either of the warranties, Swaro's or Leica. I also use a pair of Zeiss 10x40 Classics that are 30 years old, for just bouncing around in the truck, slamming on the brakes to look out in the open corn or bean fields. The focus wheel seemed to be loose so i sent them in to Zeiss USA under their lifetime warranty. They came back fixed and looking brand new in 3 weeks, no charge of course. For around $600 on Ebay, these are a great choice, money wise, and have really held their value over time. The Pure's are better for sure, but these dang Zeiss Classics are like my most favorite dog, just can't do it. My local gun shop let me go outside to compare the Swaro's, and I highly recommend that as well. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
