I do not have the weight numbers at hand but the Leica feels solid while the Swaro is "clunky" and not a good fit for my hands. The button angle for ranging is not well placed in the Swaro.

In the relative dark of the convention center it is hard to get much of a visual test and at opposite sides of the place, but it was easier to use the Leica and there were virtually no ranging failures. The Swaro was far less reliable in the quicky check we did.

With the extras, no contest with the Leica winning, IMO...


I'd probably wait and pass judgement after I used them in the field, on game animals, and not relying on the specs or ranging stuff indoors, but then thieves and crooks tend to think differently than I do. Plus, I hate to say, you have to deal with Leica and not Swaro for service / warranty issues. It's a shame too because Leica has great stuff.


It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
