They love it. Watering it down is not in their make up. Some ambivalence re hunting can be detected on the Leica and Zeiss websites, which panders to those you are refuting in your statement. Personally, I prefer Swarovski's clear and confident framework.I've certainly got no problem with Zeiss, Swarovski or Leica. I only referred to the ranking in reference to the concerns of the OP, with a view that the top (or bottom) ranking hunting optics will also probably be the best optics. I'm more than happy to take care of anybody's newly unloved optics due to that company's association with hunting.</blockquote>
