I have had Leica failures as well so I don’t think you can ‘damn’ a brand on the basis of this experience. I have had multiple Swaro products over the last 35 years ( and still do) and overall I would say quality and reliability is very good.
Along with other quality brands in my safe I have 6 or 7 Swaro scopes, 2 pairs of binocs (SLC and EL’s) and a BTX Spotting Scope. Keep the faith.

Yes all brands have a % that fault
I know of a Geovid that is heading back with a floating hair in the tube :-(
But - Re Swaro - I are hearing a growing # of comments saying the quality is not what it was say 5 - 10 years ago
Are they still made & "assembled" in Austria ???
