[QUOTE="WildcatB, post: 246818, member: 10379"] I got my hands on both of them for a few minutes in the parking lot at Scheels in Sparks, NV. Wish I had more time with them but based on those few minutes, I'm leaning towards the Zeiss. The Zeiss reads faster. The numbers where by far easier to read and the glass seemed brighter with better contrast. I also liked the target better in the Zeiss. It was a cross hair compared to a "O" shape. Plus the Zeiss costs less. This comparison was a bit frustrating because the objects to range from the parking lot where a bit limited so I wasn't able to determine which one ranged the farthest. This is really what I wanted to know. A storm was breaking and there was a little bit of snow still coming down with the sun shining through intermittently. With these conditions the farthest either would range was 1403 yards on the same storage elevator. The Scheels salesman was pushing the Swaro and said that if I bought it and didn't like it I could return it and get the Zeiss. After trying both of them I'm seriously thinking of doing the opposite - get the Zeiss and take it back for the Swaro if I don't like it. Paul [/QUOTE]
