Swarovski Dual Eyepiece Spotter!

[madppcs]

I would love to have a chance to use one of these. I have an older Swaro spotter and its great. This should be on a completely different level!

Aint that the truth!! lolol

That twin eye piece costs $2632 and with the scope that adds up to close to $3800, I don't think that would be a wise investment, and I would rather have my GR/Mk 4, because they have proven them selves over the years.

Some very nice glass. When I was shooting 1000 yd BR in the mid 90s, some guys had custom machined brackets that held two spotters, like binocular bodies. Most had Bushnell Spacemasters w/22x Wide Angle eyepieces, but one gunsmiyh had two Swaro's w/ 27 LER/WA eyepieces. This was way before HD tv even came out, and looking through those eyepieces almost gave me vertigo from the depth of field and clarity. That rig was close to $6k in Clinton era dollars; I'd love to see how the dual eyepiece on a single scope body compared.

I happens to see that, sure looks interesting.

Interesting, dual eyepiece with the single objective! It would be great to give it a run.

I wonder if you retain the "3D stereo" visual effect that you get with bino's when using a single objective.

I wondered the same thing. I may shoot Nick Owens a message and see what he says. I think hes got some in stock at Owens Armory.

No you would not.
It's the distance separating the two light paths in binoculars that provides 3D visual cues.
The Swaro dual eyepiece is going to split the single light path and make it visible with both eyes.

Isn't that going to reduce the brightness to each eye by 50%? The number of photons reflected off your target is not changing...

I guess I'll have to buy a pair of STX spotters and turn them into a set of big eyes.
