[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 42609, member: 25"] Roger, I cannot answer that objectively as I would like to have the two scopes side by side to do so. I can also tell you that the Nikon is coming out in a Tactical model, heavy black rubber coating and ED glass which will make for a great hunting spotting scope. As for the Swarovski, it was apparent from the time I spent looking through them that they are top-enders. They had them in both angled and straight-through lens models. Image was superb. Smaller but not a really small scope - perhaps the Nikon is a bit smaller. I will look at the propaganda I brought back and see if I can get some dimensions and get back to you. Many of the companies handed out CD's to the writers instead of catalogs. My expectation is that we are talking superb vs superb, probably the $ and name brand allegiance (if any) will be a factor.
