[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 259112, member: 4191"] Roger that on the Swaro LRF glass. When I feel the need to travel/hunt lightweight, I will often hunt and glass spring bears in the mountains with only the Swaro LRF. The glass is just as good as their SLC binoculars IMO. And I do own a pair of Swaro SLC binos, as well as their 8x20 pocket sized binoculars. So I have some basis to make this comparison. Didn't know the price had jumped to $1000 for the Swaro LRF, but the Leica 1200 simply didn't cut it for me. It's pretty frustrating when the game is walking away from you at a distance of 700 yds and you can't get a range with your LRF. I was able to range out to as far as 1150 yds with my Leica (occasionally), but I also experienced mountainside hunting where ranging out to 700 yds was hit or miss. And that was the last time I used the Leica. [/QUOTE]
