[QUOTE="One-Eyed Jack, post: 143367, member: 5297"] I have a pair of Leica 7x42mm Vector 1000s and another pair of 7x42mm Geovids. The Vectors are better built - they were made in Switzerland while the Geovids were made at the Leica plant in Portugal. I prefer the 7x magnification as it gives me a wide field of view for hunting while still enough to spot prairie dogs as far as 1kyd. The main advantage of the older Leica BRFs is the smaller spot size of the laser beam. The Vectors have a mil dot reticle in one monocular that is used to point the laser beam, while the Geovids have a small square formed by LEDs. I prefer the reticle as it's always visible and can be used for height finding too. I cannot give you any anecdotes about use in snow and rain. I did read that BRFs also fail in high heat (mirage?) and dust. I think there was an article in Varmint Hunter about Geovids in the past 6 months or so, so check it out. BTW, I love mine. [/QUOTE]
