Fortis, that is the most honest answer I've seen from any Swaro guy on here.
A lot of elite glass guys make it out to be a waste of time even hunting if you're not looking through Swar/Lieca/Zeiss, as though $3000 glass gives you the eyes of God himself.
I hunt with Nikon and Vortex and I've caught heat for it on here for saying the same thing. I guarantee, the mid-range, even low mid-range, glass is good enough.
In real world hunting situations there are very few, if any, situations where you won't have the opportunity at a buck that you could have had looking through the expensive glass.
I take the time to say this, because the guys that get on here asking if they should get Vortex or Swaro, obviously are in a situation where dollars matter. If, that wasn?t the case they wouldn't be asking, as they'd already have bought the best.
If saving a couple thousand dollars does matter to you, then you need to know, there is NO functional reason to spend that kind of money. You can commute to work in a Corolla or a Corvette, either way, you're still getting to work. Obviously the fit, finish and ride are different, but the job gets done.
