I tried out a few yesterday at Scheels…definitely prefer the Sig over the Vortex for weight, overall feel, and quality of glass. Leica noticeably better glass than the Sig which wasn’t a surprise and comparable feel. Now thinking I may go with the Leicas.

Go swaro if you go that high in price.

I thought you wanted to stay under $1000

I did originally…until I tried the Leica at $500 more and saw a significant difference in the glass.

I tried the Swaros too. I did not see a big difference in the glass (in store…I know the biggest difference would be seen in low light and edge clarity) for the 2 grand difference in price from the Leicas.

Gotcha.  I didn’t know you could get leicas for $1500.  Must be old stock geovids or something?  That’s a no brainer over the sig or vortex.

Geovid R, not the Pros. My understanding is the primary difference is the ballistics tools on the Pro.
