Title: Renting High End Glass
Post by: BackStrappin on September 17, 2015, 01:39:57 PM: Has anyone rented a pair of binoculars or spotting scope before ?

Came across a site that rents Swarovski glass for $15 a day.

Seemed like a decent deal , So I decided to rent a pair for the upcoming general deer season to try it out . I know its money that I could of put towards a pair to own but i am cool with it.

I would be patient and plan ahead by surfing Craigslist for a good deal used. Then use it on your hunt and resell afterward. That's what I do with camera lenses and sometimes I can even sell them for more than what I paid for them. Not sure the economics work out the same with hunting optics but its worth a shot, pardon the pun.
