Swarovski bino's.

[pashok23]

Hey guys, on the market for my first Swarovski binoculars, looking for advice from your personal experience. Thanks

I looked through a pair of EL Range 10x42 a few weeks ago and I instantly regretted it…Now I want one for myself. 

[Rainier10]

I have 10 x42 EL’s and SLC’s.  I prefer the EL’s. Kinda wish I would have gone with the 10x42 EL range but they were new at the time and I wasn’t sure.

 Buy once, cry once!

I have had my 10x42 SLC's for about 7 years and dont see my self ever needing to up grade

[harvester21]

I have the EL Range and love them. Bought them at the Portland sport show. The guy at the G4 booth gave me a 10% discount and didn't have to pay tax. You wont regret it.

I’m a big swaro fan like most. Have had the spotters for years. I have yet to own a pair of binos. I have a pair of Leica 2100 range. I have looked through swaro’s side by side and honestly can’t tell much of a difference. For a 1k price difference I most likely won’t ever switch.

[Wolfdog2314]

But the bullet last year and went with the NL Pure 12x42. I upgraded from vortex vipers 10x42. Worth every penny. I wish I had sooner. Should be the last pair I buy until I hand them down to my kids in 15 years!

As others have said, buy once cry once!

I think you also have to decide if you want range finding in your binos or not. I use a ballistics calculating Revic and prefer that over the range finding in binos. To each their own.

U absolutely cannot go wrong with the swaros, after getting over the initial cost.

I pack the EL Range TA, currently.  I’ve had some variation of Swarovski binoculars since 2001 or so.  I’ve also dabbled in Leica and Zeiss over the years.   I like the Swarovski glass the best.   

I always pack what I believe are the best hunting binoculars on the market and that’s the EL Range TA right now.

I also pack the 15x56 religiously as not one pair will do everything, but from an efficiency standpoint, it’s hard to beat the new EL Range.   I’ve also found the ballistic calculator to be extremely accurate once dialed in and it’s nice to be able to move between my 28 Nosler and 6.5 PRC with a click of a button..

Kinda like getting your wisdom teeth pulled.  You know its going to hurt for a day and then everything just straightens out and you wonder why you didnt do it earlier.  They are just a pleasure to look through

:yeah:same

I thought the same until I looked through a pair of 12x NL Pures.

Team Green needs to come out with a straight version of the BTX.
The angled BTX doesn't work on a window mount.

Sign me up.

Thanks for the heads up, I know to stay away then!!   

[Karl Blanchard]

I'm waiting for the 12x NL pure ranging binos before I upgrade from my SLC's. Not sure how long I'll be waiting but someday my dreams will come true 

[2MANY]

I'd be happy with having a packer to carry all the optics.

[b23]

To my eye's Swaro's EL 8.5x42 have always seemed to not only be the brightest but also have the best clarity and able to focus them the finest.  I've minimally handled the new Swaro NL's so I don't really have a comparison but they're supposed to be even a little better then the EL's.

This! Best analogy I’ve seen on one of these Swaro threads! I peer through 10x42 el range at the moment and I have had non range el’s in the past and sold them for Leica HDR which are great glass too but I can’t see myself ever straying from Swaro again.

[blackveltbowhunter]

El range if needing rangefinder capable glass. I prefer pures for sheer glassing ability, nothing comes close for me.

[ShaneTyTrey]

Have the NL Pures and they really are remarkable to look through.

[pashok23]

NL Pure it is, ill go with 12x42 !!! Thanks guys

[deerhunter_98520]

I went from leupold cascades to the 10x42 els and kicking myself for not doing it years ago.i got my from g4 at the Portland show also, great deal  and save on tax

[Nate Ortloff]

If you are a member on Rokslide email Rob at S&S Archery and he will set you up with a really good deal shipped directly to your door. I have not found better pricing.

[BKMFR]

NL 8x32 and NL 12x42 good pair of Glasses that work for most situations. I honestly use the 8x32's more than the 12's, but would be lost without the higher power, probably more of a mental thing... but one of my main things is glassing sheep far away, but once found bigger glass comes out 20x+

[DrAri]

I have a pair of 8.5x42 ELs for sale if interested. $1600

[Damnimissed]

I have 10x50 EL’s and they’re incredible. I don’t even want to look through NL’s, it might cost me money!

[GWP]

We have the 10x40 EL and 10x25B. I got the little ones to carry in the field as I knew I would not carry the bigger ones. That said, the 10/40 EL’s are great, and easier to hold steady, but the little ones get far more use.
We had Leupold Gold Ring before that. One look through a buddy’s Swaro’s and two days later the EL’s were on the way.
