Nightforce TS 82 Vs Swarovoski ATS 80

[Doodlebug76]

Hello all...I know there are a million threads out there regarding comparisons, but I can't find one specific to these two. I have narrowed my search down to these two units for a handful or reasons and unless there would be a killer deal on something different, I am not inclined to change my mind.

This being said, I am struggling with which one of these models to go with. I know the ATS has been around for a long while now and certainly is based on technology that is a bit dated. The TS-82 appears to incorporate some of the newer tech. Would this put it a step above? One primary objective is low light conditions. I welcome all opinions as I am really struggling with this decision. Thanks!

The Nightforce TS 82 is just a rebranded Meopta Meostar S2. Here's a link to a comparison:

Swaro ATS or Meopta Meostar S2

I’m in the market for a new spotting scope and have narrowed it down to the Meostar S2 30-60 WA and the Swaro ATS 20-60x80. It’ll primarily be used for elk, mule deer, bear, and antelope. I’d like to get input from anyone who has had experience with both of these scopes. Thanks in advance.

Have you looked at the Kowa 77x or the fluorite 88x?

Look at the spotting scope shootout done by backwoods pursuit. Good info (still take it with a grain of salt).
