[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 77879, member: 2852"] Last month, a friend and I were out in country that had no trees and the only thing to range was Barley and lava rocks. He had his new Swaro and me my 1200 Leica. I was not able to get any reading past 1215 with my Leica, but he couldn't get anything to read past 1530 with his Swaro. It was bright sunlight and both had a hard time on certain objects and certain angles. However, I had an easier time telling where I was ranging because the aim point is more precise in the Leica. I do not see how the Swaro can kill the Leica all day long as you mention. Both were good sometimes and both needed help sometimes. The Swaro does have a better image (until you hit the laser button and all the orange crap appears in your view) but the Leica is very good and it costs much less. If the chip inside the Swaro allows you to go out to 1900 yards, then that is great but my buddies would not go that far-not even when ranging a pine tree covered mountain behing us. We had to break out the WILD for anything over 1500 yards. I do like that the Swaro is threaded for a tripod. That was a huge oops with the Leica engineers. I love Swaro (I own thier 80mm spotter and some 10x42 SLC's) but I will not be trading in my Leica for the Swaro rangefinders I'm afraid. I just didn't see enough improvement in them over the Leica to take it in the shorts on a trade-in. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
