[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 486096, member: 26477"] If you are trying to ascertain the quality of the animal you are spotting you definately want to go with an HD or ED type lens. It is almost as much difference as looking at a TV in black and white vs color. The clarity is spectacular and it is clear all the way around the outside edge of the lens. A non HD scope will have color abberation around the outside edges that limit viewing clarity and color separation. I understand that you can get a discount on Leupold, but take a look at the new Vortex Razor HD. Also, read the reviews that have been made on this jewel of a scope. I just purchased one this past fall in an 20X60X 85mm and can't be happier. I have a good friend that has a new Swarofski he paid $3700 for and I can't see any difference in clarity between the two. He can't either and he, as well as I, love the focus knobs on the Vortex way over the Swarofski. I purchased the Vortex Razor 20X60X85 HD for $1599 with a lifetime warranty that stays with the scope. My buddy wishes he had seen the Vortex before he purchased the Swarofski. He could have had a good time with the savings. [/QUOTE]
