Ok guys, I have my money, and I am ready to buy a good range finder. I have been using a Bushnell 1000 Yarding Pro, I like it, but I am ready for a High Tech range finder that will read consistantly out to 1200 to 1500 yards. Bill Baily, if you are reading this post, I am sorry I never called you regarding the Swarovski. I am still trying to decide if I want the Swarovski or the Leica. My question is, is the Swarovski worth the extra $340.00? I found a Leica for $549.99 and a Swarvoski for $889.00. I have heard from only a few regarding this topic, and I would like some more info from poeple, from this post, before I make my final decision. Is the Swarovski that much better than the Leica? Will I get better readings at longer distances with Swarovski? I really don't mind spending the extra money if Swarovski's are that much better. However, if Leica is just as good and there is really not that much of a difference between the two, than I will probably go with the Leica. Furthermore, I needed a pair of good binos, so I just did the same thing regarding binoculars. I asked questions, however, I was able to go to a gun shop and look through all the ones I heard were worth looking at. I looked at three different pairs of binoculars, Swarovski 10x50 Binos at $1,599.99, Stiener 12x50 binos at $859.99 and Leupold 12x50 Olympic Wind River Binos for $389.99. They were all great and of course the Swarovskis were very nice and clear. I went with the Leupold 12x50 Wind Rivers, they were very impressive for the price. After looking through all of them, I couldn't justify spending $1,200.00 or $500.00 more. But when it come to range finding, I don't mind spending the extra cash. If you don't have an accurate way to measure distances, than your going to have many misses in the field. Any info would be great. I did see a post on here where you could vote regarding range finders. However, it did not include Swarovski in the pole. The overall winner in that pole was Leica in a blow out.
