Buy once cry once.

I had my Swaro binocs up against the Leupold scope yesterday. The difference was huge with the Swaroskis binocs image just stunningly popping out. Now I'm lusting after a Swaro scope...but it's a lot of $.

Birders have 3 or 4 that seem to top the list. Going from (bad) memory, Sworo, Kowa, Pentax.

Suspect that Vortex would be in there as well, I think they may have 2 different price points. Good luck!
