    Curious...who is using the Leica 65 or 82mm spotting scope?

    Last year I was able to have a kowa 883, leica 82, zeiss 85 and swaro atx85 for a couple weeks and put them up against each other. At the time I owned the kowa 883 and a swaro ats 65. The leica was fantastic up to 50x and may have been my favorite until I put the extender on it. I have to...

    Which 80mm Buy Once, Cry Once Spotter?

    I have not looked through the swaro extender and would really like to. Gotta admit thats why I thought I would buy the leica but 2 things stood out to me the biggest being the leica was beautiful up to 50x but as soon as the extender went on the image quality and definition went straight down...

    Which 80mm Buy Once, Cry Once Spotter?

    i really suggest you look through them because everyones eyes are different. Last year i owned an 883 kowa and had a swaro atx 85, leica 82 and zeiss 85 sent to me to compare. I thought I was going to end up buying the leica because of the extender option. I ended up selling my kowa and...

    Optics comparison

    Leica 10x42 hd-b and a zeiss diascope 85 covers everything for me! Used to run a 65mm swarovski but prefer the 85 zeiss. Also used to run 10x42 swarovision and a leica rangefinder but prefer the all in one package

    end all pair of binoculars

    I did the same as you, had swarovision 10x42's and went to geovid hd-b's and wont look back. The new zeiss would be my pick If I didnt want the rangefinder built in.

    Do you pack a small spotter or big?

    I think the little spotter would be great for muledeer and elk.

    Do you pack a small spotter or big?

    I am an extreme backpacker and packed a 65mm for years and constantly was in situations wanting more magnification for long range judging. So upgraded to an 85mm with 75x magnification and will never go back. If someone came out with a scope with equivalent magnification in a 65mm spotter...

    $2500 Budget for Spotting Scope

    I agree totally that everyone has different preferences, I was really fortunate to get to try all those scopes side by side for a block of time. I would recomend anyone about to drop a big chunk of coin on a spotter to do the same. I would have bought the swaro had I not done the comparison...

    $2500 Budget for Spotting Scope

    I pan with my zeiss constantly and it works awesome. I feel the zeiss is the best hunting spotter going right now to be able to pan at 20x then zoom right into 75x all in the eyepiece with bright crystal clear optics its unbeatable. The wide angle field of view that leica, swaro and kowa offer...

    $2500 Budget for Spotting Scope

    The zeiss definetly doesnt have the wide angle eyepiece and funny you bring that up because during my first few days testing them I hated the zeiss for that exact reason. Once I got used to it, it was a no brainer and the clearest scope of the group allowing me to make out fine detail much...

    $2500 Budget for Spotting Scope

    So last summer I owned a swaro 65mm and a kowa 88 but had an itch to upgrade to a swaro atx85 so I was fortunate enough to get a atx85, leica 82 with extender and zeiss diascope 85 for a couple weeks to compare to my existing scopes. Going into it I thought I would want the atx handsdown. When...
