[QUOTE="Sako7STW, post: 724090, member: 2112"] The Kowa Prominar is considered to be the best spotter in the world. Swaro only has higher ratings in the hunting world because of name. If you step over to the birding world where color and clarity is the whole reason they are even there, the Kowa reigns supreme. I researched spotters for months before I finally bought my TSN-884 and I absolutely love it. I have lots of friends with Swaro's and every one of them will tell you that my Kowa is better. That being said, When I was looking, the Zeiss was right there with it. VERY good scopes and I think they are better than the Swaro's in the color dept. Really though when you are talking optics of this caliber you cant go wrong with any of them. It takes a very trained eye to be able to pick these scopes apart. If it were me I would go with the Kowa for the higher power and slightly bigger objective. That being said, for what your wanting to do, have you considered a pair of big eyes? If I were a rich man I would have my TSN-884 mated with another one to make a wicked set of big eyes then get a TSN-883 for those occasions when a angled spotter would be nice. Squinting through one eye for extended periods of time gets very tiresome. My solution for a set of big eyes was I bought a pair of the 15x50 Canon Image stabilizing binoculars. I made a setup where I can take my canon's and they are mounted on a bar next to my Kowa. I use the bins to carpet the area then the spotter to zoom in for fine detail like scoring a bull from over 5 miles! [/QUOTE]
