[QUOTE="Aussie Powder Burner, post: 544255, member: 1953"] Direct comparison last year - the Leica refused to range a crow on the ground at which the Swaro subsequently told me was 286yds. This was bright middle of day on a gibber [stony] plain with little to reflect and high ambient light. However i was amazed at their lack of ability - pulled the swaro out and got an immediate reading. I have kept the Leica for my wife to use with her 17HMR - close range stuff. Good advice to compare but do it late in the afternoon to be able to see the benefits of good quality glass. I looked through many binos one evening in Aukland NZ across a city block into store windows. That was the best comparo I ever managed and the pure Leica Binos shone. I ended up buying a compact pair of 10x25 leica. I have just purchased a pair of Swaro 10x50 EL which are leading edge I believe now. Sorry to get off track but these have a very flat image with large field of view because of larger than normal occular lens. I used a demo pair in darkness one evening which impressed me enough to replace my 10x42 SLC. [/QUOTE]
