Good post!
The other thing I notice is that many disenfranchised Leupold people actually state they want to use them, or they love everything about Leupold scopes except for the durability, etc.
I find that interesting because you don’t see that in a lot of other product areas.
Great comments, I appreciate the experience. I’m coming from an 88mm that I didn’t want to carry because of the weight so it didn’t do me any good.
My thoughts are either the swaro, Kowa 55A or 66A. The areas I hunt 2 miles is about the furthest I would glass most times.
I’m very curious on what you thought you were missing with the little swaro? Was it light gathering early/late? Not enough zoom?
I’m getting a new spotter and your thoughts are something I worry about as well. Since I haven’t looked through the stc/atc my worries might be unfounded but I like...
Go listen to the short range benchrest guys who measure groups in hundredths of an inch, guys who change loads when the humidity changes between matches, and who shoot a lot.

It’s always entertaining reading threads like these. As always, the correct answer is maybe it does or maybe it doesn’t IN YOUR RIFLE. The only way to know is to test it yourself for your setup.

Great write up, truly fantastic. No matter how much you may have built up that hunt in your mind in the years leading up….I’ll wager it exceeded them all!
If your story doesn’t sum up why we hunt, I don’t know what would!
Congratulations
I honestly don’t understand why Leupold can’t make a more durable scope? Will it cost them too much? Do they just not care? I’m sure they are well aware of the talk on forums like this one. If they had a scope exactly as they make right now but with durability they’d rule the market. I’d sell...
No douchiness detected…I heard the same thing from another person in regards to the revics.
Just like Mike D, I think if I decide to go ranging binos it might have to be the leica.
Thanks for that.
Do you feel like you would miss spotting deer while glassing with the revics compared to el, pure, sf’s, etc? In other words, is it just a clarity/contrast difference or is the image of the revics worse enough that you might miss animals while glassing?
I really want to go...
