[QUOTE="B23, post: 314493, member: 13222"] When I bought my Nikon about 5yrs ago the salesman at what was then Sportsman Warehouse let me take multiple scopes out side for some side by side comparisons. I took 3 or 4 spotters in the $700-$1000 range outside and spent a far amount of time looking at different objects. At the time the Nikon performed as good or better than most in that range and $1k was my max limit. Like I mentioned I have some Swaro EL 8.5x42 binos that are outstanding in all aspects. I spent some time behind the other top end binos and for me the EL's came out on top. So naturally I assumed the Swaro spotter would be equally excellent. So far, very sub par!!! Today I went against my better judgement and let the salesman talk me into stepping up to the HD version with the 25-50 wide angle eye piece this time. He was convinced it would be noticably better. I'll know in a few days but I have a gut feeling this was mistake number two. Only time will tell. [/QUOTE]
