Had any of a number of leupolds, Vortex, Zeiss and 1 NF over the years. Looking for some firsthand experience out there.

Thanks.


Respectfully,
Consider Schmidt Bender... You'll pay more AND you will have more in the end than either of those two scopes.

I own enough Leica gear to be classified a Leicaphile. That said their warranty is truly open to question. I've had difficulty with them that Doug at Cameraland had to fix. This with a lifetime passport no questions asked warranty. NO MORE LEICA until they stand behind the product.

I don't care for the adjustments on Swarovski Scopes. Plastic on plastic feel. Eye relief generally nothing to write home about...
