[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 215893, member: 10"] I tested the 3000 and a 4000 yard unit head to head against my Swari as well. On hard targets, the Newcons were very impressive. I was getting readings out past 2800 yards with the 3000 model and +3600 yards with the 4000 yards model. That was of course when ranging targets such as buildings and it was a cloudy day with cool temps and low humidity. I then took them out and compared them head to head with the Swari but this time against soft targets. On 1500 lb round alfalfa hay bails, THere was no real difference between the three. In bright sunlight, I was getting consistant ranging out to 1500 yards or a bit more with all three. On smaller square hay bails, All would get me between 1300 and 1350 yards. On bare grass hillsides, again, all three were about the same. My Swari will get consistant 1800 yard readings in good ranging conditions and well over 1400 in most any conditions with good air quality. I have gotten several ranges with the Swari that were over 2000 yards. Again, on hard targets, the Newcons have a clear advantage, against soft targets which we would need to range for long range hunting, I saw no real advantage for the Newcons over the Swari, especially when you consider size and cost. And as said, the optical quality is no comparision compared to the Swari glass. [/QUOTE]
