[QUOTE="Bullmark, post: 2092612, member: 113003"] I’ve owned many many scopes and binocs over the years.....from the cheapest imaginable to top shelf. I’ve come to the conclusion that I will cut corners on anything but glass. Leica and Swaro make the best binocs for my eyes and they last forever. For dedicated hunting scopes S&B is my favorite. I only have 2 hunting rifles at the moment and they are wearing a S&B Exos and Swaro Z8i. The Swaro is every bit as clear and has a slightly wider field of view, and is lighter weight. The Exos simply cannot be any better. The illuminated center dot is crisper, its controls are more user friendly, end the turrets are far more solid and sturdy. Dialing yardage is easier with the Exos. I won’t say the Z8i is fragile, it’s not, but compared to the Exos it’s not in the same class for ruggedness and damage proof. I am about to get a smokin deal on a Leica Magnus 4-16, with the same illuminated center dot duplex. I’ve never owned a Leica scope or binocs but have used ones that belonged to a friend, and would put their stuff in the same league. I’d hunt with a cheap rifle with good glass all day, but not the other way around. Just my thoughts..... [/QUOTE]
