[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 2683842, member: 94154"] Back when I was wanting a spotting scope, I looked at models from Swaro, Razor (Vortex), Nikon high end, Leupold, Kowa and Pentax. At the high end, in the store or in the parking lot of the store, it was hard for my eye to discern the optical difference between any of the brands. I bought a Pentax because it was amazing clarity at 40% the cost of a Kowa I looked at, and 1/6th the cost of a Swarovski. Were I to do it with a bigger budget, I'd get a Kowa. To me, the real test was "can I see .223 holes at 300 on black paper." In that, the Pentax shined. [/QUOTE]
