Hendsolt, Swarovski or Leupold Spotter?

[Jimmy D in AK]

I have 2 Hensoldts, the Spotter60 and Spotter45 and the Swarovski STR80 is the best when comparing them both. I totally like the Swarovski more so than both Hensoldts

The Leupold is not really in the same class

Well shit Frank, I was going to say same thing... anyway Natchez Shooters Supply and occasionally EuroOptic usually will have Swaro STR-80 demos (w/20x-60x eyepieces) that have been factory refurbished for around $3K. Same lifetime warranty and excellent customer service (just be sure to register your spotter).

Sure wish Swaro would add a reticle eyepiece to the “X” line. We really liked being able to mix and match BTX/ATX eyepieces, doubler, and lenses within our hunt group to get the best optics for everyone based on their roles for the day. I need a packable eyepiece cause the BTX just isn’t made for leaving the truck. But Swaro isn’t known for providing cost effective solutions

I can't remember the name of the case, but Google search for a carrying case for it, I was able to find one, but I'm drawing a blank on the name

Call Armageddon Gear, they’ll make you a stay-on case.

I would prefer to use the Swaro eyepiece in my Swaro spotter. Someone should set up to add the reticules to the existing eyepiece. That would be a win.

The Leupold is not really in the same class

Even with the narrower FOV ?
