I bought some Swarovski binoculars and replaced my Zeiss Terras was so pleased to see the color variation in a deer’s fur at 100 yards I couldn’t wait to get the benefit of those fabulous binoculars. It took 7 years before they actually made a difference in a hunt. I spotted some bedded elk in thick brush that the cheaper bino is couldn’t quite make it. Son in law had the Terras I was able to wait for him to get there & we both killed cows at about 200 yards that other hunters would no doubt walked past without good glass.

I like Zeiss Conquest on my hunting rifles but have several scopes that wil do just fine for killing big game animals under 400 yards the best glass in rifle scopes is purely a nice to have.
