Leupold or Swarovski

[375Fox]

Give it a try. If you don’t like it Swarovski holds resale value well. I like Swarovski’s illumination much better than Leupold’s. However, I find Swarovski’s crosshairs too fine without illumination. They don’t make the contrast on animals that Leupold’s crosshairs do. I sold my non-illuminated Swarovski 1.7-10 because of it. I really don’t understand the argument about glass quality in most cases except maybe leopard. You’ve lost the ability to judge horns with your binoculars long before you lose the ability to shoot accurately. I can’t see a functional difference between Leupold and Swarovski for 99.9% hunting situations.

I don't know what age you are, but there will come a day when your eyes will demand all the quality you can get your hands on....
