The Leica HD-B 3000 at the current reduced price of $1,999.99 https://cameralandny.com/shop/leica...e343-0135-0c10-00163ecd2826?variation=1679864 would be the way to go. Optically far superior to a Vortex and 7 years newer technology than the Swarovski EL Range
I haven't looked through the Swaro, but the Leica are significantly better than the Vortex to my eyes. I tried to talk myself into the Vortex to save some money, but couldn't do it.
If I didn't just pick up the 2200's last year, I'd be all over the Leica 3000's that are going for $2k. Those are easily the best deal for range finding binos out there right now.

Leica warranty is so bad I won't buy anything from them. Love my geovids but their days are numbered in my hand . Sent a spotting scope in for repair and got a $500 bill to repair a scratched lense. The optics industry has come too far to invest in expensive optics with terrible warranties.
I have the fury 5000 and love the rangefinder portion. I have compared the glass at Cabelas and sportsman's with swaro and the swaro has the better glass by far to my eyes. Price difference is huge though. No experience with the newer Leica

I have been able to try a few. I ended up with the lieca 2200's then just replaced those with the hdb3000's last Jan.
Now I'm kinda upset to see that price. Lol
They are as good as it gets in my book.
I would have been smarter to buy swaro because I could use my Cabela's points for them but thought the liecas were better in the field to my eyes.
Keep in mind that's my eyes.
I've heard mixed reviews on warranty. Heard horror stories but the only experience I had with them was a good one.

Hey guys, I'm needing some input on the OP's original question as well, please post some more info & opinions if you come across this thread. ThankYou
What did you end up buying? I'm currently looking at these 3 as well
