KRP: Also, thanks for your reply. The pupillary distance is a common problem that I have heard of. And will not affect my eyes as I have had a chance to look through the Swaro's in actual hunting conditions. Just haven't had the opportunity to look through the 15x56 Vortex in hunting conditions. KRP I thought glassing in a grid pattern was the only way. Am I missing something?? Thanks again!!
There's no 'only' way to glass, especially for coues... knowing how to see is more important than brand of glass ultimately.
Brand discussion is it's own subject not necessarily the same as glassing technique.
A good glasser with a 50.00 bino will out glass a newbe with 2000.00 glass.
I'm out of town so my reply is short but not meant to be offending, I can discuss more when I return home if you want.

No offense taken. What I'm trying to find out is from a manufacturing point. If there is anything technically, that makes one better than the other. It just seems rather odd to me that when you look in Cabelas there are only three reviews. Also, when you look in Eagle optics, there are only two reviews, and I would venture to say that both of these companies sell their fair share of optics. And being there doesn't seem to be much apparent demand for the vortex. It sometimes leads me to believe that some people have the attitude. That mine is better than yours because I spent more money on it. If from a manufacturing point of view, there is no real big difference. I certainly have no interest in paying 7 or 8 hundred dollars more just because they took a ride across the pond.
I also understand that there are some people that could look through binoculars, no matter what the cost. And not see any wildlife unless it was etched in the glass. But I think that probably should be in a different topic.
Anyway, one of the main things that may lean me toward the vortex. Is at age 57. Although I only have to wear glasses for reading. There is no guarantee that within the next year or two that that could change. And it seems to be a very common denominator that for eyeglass wearers, the Kiababs get the nod.
Anyway I think I'll just sit tight and continue to check the post's on here. As there certainly seems to be a very large membership with much activity. And as long as I have plenty of time before any of the draw results are announced. I'll just continue to throw coin in the jar. Thanks again!
Take care, Willie
