I have purchased and used 2 pair of Leica, one Zeiss Victory and one Swarovski Swarovision binocs in the past few years. All were good but seemed to me overpriced so I sold them all with little use cost. I was thinking the BX-4 from Leupold looks a bit more reasonable but I am wondering how they compare to the high buck models from other name brand makers?????

Have you considered the GPO Passion HD's? Excellent binocular and side by side with an SLC hard to see a difference

I like to stick with stuff that I know I can sell easily if it doesn't meet my needs. I know Leupold is one o those brands.
