I recently stopped at Cabela's with intent of purchasing a set of Vortex Diamondback 8x28 binoculars. As I was looking at them I asked the salesperson to hand me a pair of Swarovski CL pocket binoculars in 8x25 just for comparision's sake. I really felt like the Swarovski's would make me regret...

First - is there any difference in brass that is stamped Norma and Norma RE ? Second - is Barnes brass any good and Third - who makes it ? TIA, Dennis
