Spotters Swaro spotter options ?

[deersniper]

Picked up a 55 off cert for swaro and looking for one with a reticle

Looks like the str 65 25-50 mil is the way to go ?
Any thoughts ?
Looks like the higher end glass atx you can’t get the reticle with ?

 

[gr8fuldoug]

The STR is an 80

 

[DeathBeforeDismount]

It would be nice if you could get 15x SLC with reticle

Looks like your right is the 80
The only one with mil reticle ?

If you get the STR80, make sure to grab some rails and an RDS.

The FOV sucks balls…

Yiu use the 25-50 eyepiece ? I hear is WFOV

 

[DeathBeforeDismount]

You could always sell the cert and get what you really want.... A Spotter 45 with reticle

25-50 Eye piece is good

That’s the only SWARO with a reticle

I love that scope, but the double eyepiece one would be great too

Marginally better. Still would benefit from an RDS, If you're having to spot a variety of targets under time constraint.

Henny smokes it in that dept.

The str 80 is wonderful. The only thing you might not like is the red reticle. Its an illuminated reticle. So switching it off also allows this to be used as a regular spotter with no reticle.

Best purchase I have made for long range shooting.

Can you? They seem to be in short supply.

The Revic Acura Spotting Scope is worth a look:
22x Fixed Power Reticle Eyepiece
27-55x Variable Zoom Eyepiece
Neoprene Scope Cover
Custom EPP Foam Carry Case

Great scope around half the price of the Swaro leaving that certificate good for another Swarovski optic

^^ They just went and threw every reticle in there that they could find huh? Lol

Slight overkill, but they've got you covered and the spotter is awesome

$2500 for a no name spotter sounds dicey. I would buy a Kowa at that price.

Kowa is an amazing optic, absolutely. Revic is a division of Gunwerks so hardly a no name

 

[Travis224]

I'm hoping the btx eventually gets a a reticle option, best glass I've ever used and own. Got the doubler and am constantly amazed at the image.

Gunwerks. Overpriced , under performing gear designed to seperate rich idiots from their money.

I love my Kowa but want a Henny so I can have a reticle...I have stopped wishing that Kowa will ever offer a reticle

Have they stopped making these? They seem to be rarer and rarer to find

I have a swaro 55 cert for sale. Get a $5000 spotter for like $3300

Thanks but I am good with the KOWA right now

EuroOptic stop stocking them. Guys are still wanting to buy them. But it’s a crap show in getting Hensoldt to respond.

That’s why they’re getting snatched up in the PX. Only way to get them right now.

This is where I'm gonna say that based on the conversation I heard at PRE...

Note: both were set up at the same height and less than 24" away from each other.


The Swarovski has a beautiful image and resolution.
The Hensoldt cuts through mirage better and trace is much easier to spot.

Ability to see impact went to the Henny.

Not my observation, just a conversation I overheard between DT and someone else the day after PRE.

IIRC, he was the guy that owns Bravo Actual steel stuff. I could be wrong, but that's what I remember.
