Leupold BX5 Santiam 15x56

Recommended Posts

Anyone know where these fall against the big names in terms of clarity and brightness? They are sending me a pair to replace my gold rings and I'm considering selling them to go higher end. Unless they are close to the meopta then I will probably keep them.

I looked at Zeiss, Swaro, Meopta and the Santiam all 15’s... Swaro and Zeiss were, in my opinion, hands down better for my eyes... I ended up going Zeiss because there wasn’t enough difference between them and swaro to justify the extra several hundred dollars... just my opinion... I spent along time researching them and looking through them...

Definitely wouldn't think they would be a real comparison to the Swaros, really wondering where they fall next to the meopta though... or if they are closer to the kaibabs.
