    Kowa 664 vs Swaro 65 HD, Just did a head to head

    great review. I am no expert by any means but spend a lot of time behind glass in Aug-Sept. in the mountains of Alaska. For my Feb. birthday I bought a new scope. After setting up a Zeiss, a Swarvo, and a Kowa side by side I bought the Kowa. The TSN 663. Was impressed with what I 'saw' but...
