[QUOTE="jonoMT, post: 244670, member: 9463"] I went with the Swaros. I was sorely tempted to go with the Leica Geovids but would rather put the extra $1160 into scope optics and other items. Eagle Optics has a good deal on those right now, although backordered. I'm actually sending back a great pair of binos I just got yesterday - some Stokes DLSes - to get this instead. I don't mind going down to monocular vision and a little less exit pupil (but mitigated by Swaro SLC glass and you can't shoot in the dark in Montana anyway) for excellent ranging and light weight. BTW, if you are in the market for binos you can get the DLS 10x42 for $450 or Eagle has a demo pair on ebay for $409 (maybe couple that with a live.com search for 15-20% off). I looked through everything I could get my hands on recently and the only glass I liked better was the $1000 Pentax DCF EDs. My only complaint about the DLS is a slight amount of bluish fringing but they are nice in low light - glassed some deer at 800-900 yards and could see clumps of grass at 2 miles. Jon [/QUOTE]
