[QUOTE="carter33, post: 1591769, member: 109494"] The Swarovski may have awesome glass but doesn't have hardly any features, all it does is give an angle compensated range. Leica and Zeiss both have features that allow custom ballistics to be uploaded I believe. Zeiss has the newest and arguably best tech with their newest model. From my understanding the leupold is essentially a rebranded meopta rangefinder bino with an upgraded body and leupold lens coating/TBR-W rangefinder. If it has meopta glass it may compete with the euro names optics wise. It does fall short though with only having preloaded ballistics as mentioned above and I would agree that it would not be suited well to precision long range shooting if you want to rely on the moa/mil it outputs. However I do believe it is the only one that gives a windage output, though it is only based on a 10 mph crosswind which would require some math on the users part in basically every scenario. Being that I can get them at a solid discount through the leupold pro program I think I may give them a shot. I will use my AB app to create a drop chart like I always have but may use the windage feature for hunting purposes with the closest ballistic profile to what I am shooting. This may not be perfect but I do think it may aid in windage calls especially within my hunting ranges out to 600 yards at most. I considered going with a used pair of swaro EL ranges but I don't believe they have updated the rangefinder in some time and am concerned it may be behind the leupolds in that area as well as the others mentioned.
