Black swaro slc’s?

[chaser_2332]

I have a pair of the new 15x56 slc and i love then, so much that i wouldn’t mind having a smaller pair to throw in a hunting kit. I have see a few black bodied slc’s on eBay for a decent price but i don’t know much about those? Can anyone give any info on why they are usually cheaper?

They came from black helicopters. ?

Buying things that are

1: the top dog in their category

2: outside the financial reach of many people who want them

3: look slightly different than you know they should

4: on eBay

Is a recipe for heart ache.

Did you mean "similar" or are they actually smaller than the green 15x56 SLC? If so I would be cautious. Or maybe you have the older non-hd SLC which is a little larger?

I think you miss read my post i have a new pair of the HD 15x56. I was just browsing eBay and saw some 10x42that came with a black body instead of the new green or older olive green. Eurooptic used to carry this model as well. Just curious is they are the same as the older green body just a different color

Ok, I didn't see the 10x42 part.

I'm no expert but I have only ever seen green slc"s? Be careful.

Check a few post above, Eurooptic used to sell black ones also

Sorry, my mistake.

And i agree with this 100% but i was pretty curious about them after seeing that euro actually sold black for a while.

I don't trust e-bay, but Swaro does currently make SLC's in black, green and tan. No difference besides the color
