    Stay-on case suggestions for Kowa 773?

    Kowa vs Swaro

    Of course, I'm biased BUT the 773 is no slouch and next to the lower grade ATS/STS (as compared to ATX/STX), I think all would absolutely give the nod to the Kowa TSN-773. Again, look to the independent reviews. Backwoods Pursuit ranked the 773 as Rank #1 in "Best in hunting" here...

    There's a new beast - KOWA Prominar TSN-99
