George....

I will tell you about the RF of them. As you know, Chris and I use the Leica Geovids and they are awesome. The optics cant be beat. BUT, when it comes to a foggy soup, the only RF that worked last deer season was Deans---yep, the bushnells. We could not get the Leicas to cut thru the fog. I am not saying i am trading them as i couldnt see thru the fog to much to shoot anyways, but when you could see a few hundred yds, it would have been nice to get a reading.

Optically...i will let Dean speak regarding that. I dont think they are on par with the Leicas....but that is not really a fair comparision. I think they are good for teh price tho from the lil time i looked thru Deans. Again...Dean can better advise, but thought i would throw my 2 cents in for you. ANd to yet again tell Dean congrats. Love all the photos. Cool whale blade pic. I bet it paid to be 6'5 with a monster stride up there in the wet country. Poor guide probably met his match. haha.
