I have heard good things about them scopes but do not have a huge amt. of first hand experience on how they compare to every other manufacturer out there. But I have compared the Alaskan Guide Binoculars to
every other binocular that Cabelas carries(many, many times) and they are the best pair of binoculars
for the money. And I'm not just saying that because I work for Cabelas. The guides series binoc, compare IMO just as good as the Swarovski's, Leica's, Ziess, Steier, etc. I can't tell any difference and I have tested them many times. They collect a lot of light from the glass coatings and high quality glass. I'm not sure who makes the guide series for Cabelas, they won't even tell us. But if I had to guess, it'd be Leupold. They have a lot of similiar characteristics. But I'd put any Alaskan Guide Series optic up to a Luepold optic anyday, and Luepold optics, especially scopes, are great themselves. Just my 2 cents, Good luck.
