[QUOTE="jonoMT, post: 247434, member: 9463"] Just got the Swaro last night and so far I think it was the best way for me to go. I haven't ranged anything over 900 yards yet (a grassy, snow covered slope at 877) but it worked well. I also like that I can glass that far and beyond with the 8X monocular...and the Swaro SLC glass is impressive. I doubt I'll carry binos much, if at all. I really can't compare these to the Leicas or Zeiss. Only to the Nikon 440 that I'm going to be selling. The Nikon is fine for what I'd originally bought it for, which was for sighting in up to 300 yards. So the only things I'd say about the Leicas is that I felt the weight and expense of the Geovids was too much and there were simply better things said about the Swaros compared to the CRF. In the end, the tipping factors were the 8X magnification (not much more, but it helps) and slightly higher exit pupil and the ability to switch between yards and meters (like the Nikon). I still might have gone with the Leica but lucked into a great price too on the Swaro. [/QUOTE]
