HOLY CHIT.....them things are expensive, I never really looked at Leica's. I can just see the newspaper article now.... Military man survives 3 deployments to IRAQ and gets shot by wife for buying binos.

That being said I don't know if I'll ever spend that much money on binos. I just loose too much sleep with the thought of losing or having them stolen out of my truck. My highest I'd ever spend cash wise would probably be an ED pair of either Vortex or ZENs.

I'd go with Swaro's over Leica due to their customer service reputation.

Just a little tip for guys worried about losing or having their binos stolen, INSURE THEM!! I scheduled my binos on my homeowner policy. Cost me $18 a year. If there ever lost or stolen or any other covered loss, I get a check for $2200 with no deductible. I sleep good at night!! :)

So, I am returning from IRAQ the end of this month (actually, the day before the modern east side elk opener) and the wife just gave me the go ahead to order some new binos. She said what ever ones I wanted, but this was it, never again (I been beggin for a pair of Swarovski's), but I am having a hard time trying to figure out which ones.

Now, that's what I'm talking about!!! After my all expenses paid vacation to Balad in '05, my wife gave me the green light to pick up two ARs and a custom AK... gotta love that tax free and extra allowances!!! Have a safe trip home... and thank you for your service!

congrats and thanks for a job well done. I work with some guys who were in that place and have been told some crazy stories. I wouldn't want to live it for nothing. Thanks again. If I had the money I would buy you the glasses.

Surprised noone has mentioned the Zen-Rays. Aren't these suppose to be real good?
Ok...............I mention them. Have the 10x43 ED2's....son has same. Definitely consider these at 1/4 the price of the Swaro's and Leica's mentioned here. Are the Zen's better than.........no...............are they close.....hell yes. I would rather buy an new rifle and scope with the difference. :twocents:

Seems the X wants to fight for custody of my princess, I need every penny I have right now. But I should be able to get some by next year.

Geovids in the same configuration are also a great option with having the range finder built in. Overall optical quality maybe a smidge below Swaro although depending on your eyes you may like the Leica's more.
