sniper Report post Posted August 12, 2012 I am pretty close to pulling the trigger on some of these Leica Geovid's. Anybody out there using them that has any positive/negative comments? Or does anyone prefer the Swaro or Zeiss Bino/RF counterparts? I would appreciate any input.....I know this is a hashed out topic but I am about to spend big $$ here.....

westernhunter23 Report post Posted August 12, 2012 Splitting hairs when it comes down to these three brands. Just comes down to what your eye likes. If you will be spending that kind of money I would make sure you test each one. Not sure where you are at but if you have a chance head over to the outdoorsmans in Phoenix and they will set each of them up on tripods for you to look at.

azgutpile Report post Posted August 12, 2012 Look at the Swarovski 10x42 EL range. You can have the outdoorsman adapter installed and use them off atripod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buglethemin Report post Posted August 12, 2012 I love my Geovids, I have been using them for awhile, on archey hunts rifle hunts and helping others on their hunts. I have no complainants and the glass is clear and laser works great, up to long long distances. When I purchased them I was kind of worried about the 5 year warranty due to the electronic portion of the optics. After last year hunt and my left diopt was not working properly. I sent them back and Leica fixed them, and cleaned everything up. Even being past the 5 year warranty they did everything for free. All I paid was shipping to them. I have not used or looked through the swaro's or zeiss laser binos, but I am very satisfied w/ my geovids and the customer service of Leica. Nothing beats having a range finder in your binos, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W.O.T Report post Posted August 12, 2012 If you dont plan to use anything bigger then 10x42s, get them! I love mine, but I did recently add some 15 swaros to the backpack... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RHINO Report post Posted August 13, 2012 I love my el range. It has the angle componsation on it, and its not just giving you a horizontal distance its giving you a true ballistic range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
