I wish there was a Leica dealer nearby that I could check out some of their spotters. Been pretty happy though with my Razor 65mm.

I've heard great things about that little Leica myself, but make no mistake.....the highest quality larger objective spotters will out resolve one's with smaller objectives every time. Can't beat physics. The extra heft and size may not be worth it to some, I'll admit. I still have the 85MM collapsable Swaro and the 62MM Leica. Side by side, nobody pics the swaro.
I can walk on water.......................but I do stagger a bit on alcohol.

COMPARABLE glass/highest quality glass is what I said. I owned that collapsable spotter myself and it is at least 20 yr old technology or older.

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

You may or may not find this interesting..... http://www.petersenshunting.com/featured/bes-spotting-scopes-of-2013/ The difference between the two is twofold. 1. The Leica has a long enough eye relief that @ the highest powers, you still don't have to be touching it, allowing the scope to be as steady as your mounting medium is able to be. 2. The Leica's 2 speed focus is much more precise and user friendly than twisting the tube on the swaro, again, just too much movement on the bigger scope. My 62 Leica and 85 Swaro are within 3-4 years, the same age.

Good deal. It's not worth arguing about anyway, and it was not my intention to begin with. Just passing along information. My collapsable Swaro's eye relief was horrible.
