[QUOTE="TheHardWay, post: 416164, member: 23905"] Leica and Swaro are like Fords and Chevys, it is just a personal preference. I would go with the 10x for hunting out this way. As for the HD vs Non-HD, I don't know that it is worth the extra $$$. When I bought my swarovski spotting scope, I was in the same boat as you as to go for the HD or not. The salesman put it to me like this, if you plan on zooming in and taking digital pictures through the scope, get the HD...you will notice a difference. To the naked eye, there will only be very subtle differences between HD and non-HD, noticeable only when compared side by side. I ended up with a non-HD just for the cost savings. I know that doesn't really translate to binos because I doubt you'd be doing any 'digiscoping' with binoculars, but still just some food for thought. I'd say look through a pair of each and compare them side by side for yourself, if you feel the HD is that much better and you can afford them, go for it. [/QUOTE]
