Everyone has slight differences in perception on optics quality but I feel that my 3-15x42 Toric has better quality glass than any of the Leupolds I own or have looked through, including the VX6. Much better than SWFA. I don't have any $4000 German scopes but I would be surprised if they would significantly exceed this scope. I'd appreciate a little less weight, similar Leupolds are lighter, but it is in the ballpark of other respected brands. Great hunting scope. If you don't like it, I think they'll take it back so I don't see how you can lose.
