bigorange Report post Posted January 5 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. https://leica-camera.com/en-US/sport-optics/hunting/rangefinder/geovid/leica-geovid-r Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
