[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 682366, member: 34084"] As the OP has figured out, HD is not a standard term and can mean essentially nothing. In this case (Leupold), HD means low dispersion glass ("ED"). It makes a big difference in image resolution over field of view. Make sure the Leupold scope is the HD version. if so, the two scopes are not in the same class. I've spent some time behind the Leupold recently. The image has excellent contrast and resolution. Eye relief is excellent - I can see very well with glasses on. It is essentially what military sniper teams have been using (minus the ranging reticle) for years. I've also done side-by-side tests and the Leupold wins against non-ED glass hands down. That price is very good. I would definitely go that route over the Kowa. I would also get the Slik Sprint Pro EZ tripod. There is nothing better for hunting at that price. [/QUOTE]
