Obviously an unfair comparison, but optically (forgetting price) how do these compare to Swaro ELs?

I have the Toric 12.5X50 and Leica Ultrivid 10X42 and I like the Toric better. I know not apples to apples
I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

I just ordered the 10x Tract Toric. I have used the 8x for the last 2-3 years and love it. Hope the 10x is just as good for my eyes.

I wish Tract had the 12.5x50 on special for BF or Cyber Monday rather than the 10x42....

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

All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

Mine just arrived today. It was dark by the time I got home and unboxed them. FWIW, the boxing was classy. I took them outside along with my Pentax DCFs. Although things to observe were limited at night, the Torics were discernibly clearer and brighter, and that’s with a smaller exit pupil on the 10x42 vs the Pentax 8x42. The only fly in the ointment is that the eye relief for my glasses is a tad better on the DCFs. I’m pleased and am eager to use them during the day.

Cool! Excited to hear how they do during day light.
Got mine in today.
Wow! is all I got to say.
I’ll admit, I don’t have lots of time behind alpha glass, but definitely makes my monarch And my daughters monarch 7 looks like prostaff. They are so crisp and clean and bright. Glad I pulled the trigger.
I will say when I dialed the eye cups, they remind me of the 7. Honestly I was expecting little better or are eye cups all kind of the same ?

Crazy thing is they came out with the 10x50s just after I got my 10x42s. Would have preferred them. Still, the 10x42 rock. The TractS compare very favorably to my older 10x42SLCs and older (non-swarovision) ELs. Superb optics....and a unbelievable value.
