Whats the better choice.  Zeiss victory 10x45 range finding binoculars or Swarovski El 10x42 range finding binoculars?

The Zeiss ranges faster (it is very fast),   The swaro was fast, but to me the Zeiss seemed a bit quicker.  The Zeiss I believe has a smaller laser beam.  Meaning at longer distances it will be more precise because the size of the laser beam will be smaller and can get a reading on smaller objects easier. 

Optically they are both fantastic.  My Ziess has a slight blue tint to them vs the Swaros that I looked through. 

I have ranged just beyond 2000 yards with my Zeiss.  The Zeiss claim 10,000 readings where swaro claims 1000 readings. 

The Zeiss are bit heavier.  I do not really like the little bumps on the bottom of the Swaros

I went with Victory ht 10x42 and zeiss victory diascope fl 85mm spot scope.  I will go with a smaller palm style range finder.

I think u will regret that. Just one more thing u have to carry. I would never go back to a separate rf after having an rf bino. They are awesome imo. But regardless u picked some nice gear. Enjoy
