[QUOTE="BIG MO, post: 471827, member: 18994"] Very satisfied! Top tier glass, field of view 3x that of the leica 1200, readout easier to see than the swaro. The swaro will range farther, but to 1500 yds on non reflective targets (rocks) the Zeiss was faster and more sure on the day I tested both side by side. I do not anticipate shooting anything over 1500yds so the zeiss was the best fit for me. This was about a year ago when I was making a purchasing decision. Technology marches on and everyone is improving their products rapidly. I have no experience with the leica 1600 and maybe swaro has improved the readout on their unit. It was pretty dim on the two swaro units I tested against the Zeiss. It was a sunny day in Arizona. My buddy and I switched back and forth between the swaro and the zeiss several times and we both concluded that the zeiss was ranging rocks on a mountain at distances between 1000-1500yds faster and more reliably than the swaro. We were surprised by this and went back into the Outdoorsmans and they gave us another swaro to try. The results were the same. I would give the edge to the swaro for optical clarity by a hair. All three are great units that will serve you well and none are the wrong choice. [/QUOTE]
