Let me start with the good things. I've always been a swaro guy. I ran a OG set of EL's for ever. Loved the ergos and everything. Begrudgingly a 4 or 5 years ago a went to a pair of Leica 2200 yard RF binos. Since swaro didn't offer anything competitive it was the only way to go. In the defense of the Leica the optics where on par with my old 1st gen EL and the ranging/ballistics side was awesome, besides burning the chips (yes I know the newest model is blue tooth). The fit and finish and user interface was never up to par with swaro, eye cups, covers, and finish.
So I got the new range TA. Optically their brilliant. It was quit easy to tell the difference optically, their on a next level. Range finding the two units where almost exactly on par, which tells me the newest Leica would probably blow the swaro out on pure ranging distances.
My issue comes with the correction given by the Swarovski. I've used the ballistic AE app for ever and the leicas would constantly kick out corrections almost exactly the same, or within a click. With the swaro I'm like 10-12 clicks different at 1500 yards. I'm sure I could mess with the settings and tweak the velocity till they match, but I'm not sure that's the best way to deal with it. Maybe someone here is more familiar with the swaro app, it's not real detailed.
Sorry this was long winded.
