    Choosing an 8x32 Rangefinding Bino

    I ended up getting the Swaro 8x32. They cost a pretty penny but I see it as an investment for the next 10-20 years. I decided against the Leica and GPOs for different reasons. I have heard mixed reviews on Leica customer service and thought that for equivalent glass, I would choose Swarovski...

    Best Mono Bullet for Hunting/Effective Kills

    Does anyone know if the Hammer bullets are available in commercial ammunition? Or any other copper / non-lead option with low weight retention?

    Exporting Riflescope From U.S. to Canada

    Around $45 for shipping and that was it. No sales tax upon purchase. No taxes or duties upon receipt. It’s been a few months and I haven’t received a surprise bill by the mail so I guess that’s that! Edited for spelling.

    Interesting to know that it works, thanks. I’ll try to figure something out.

    Swarovski EL Range 32

    I tried a bunch of the Z8 scopes but still no MIL option. Maybe I’m missing a setting somewhere? The drop down options I see on a Z8 scope are: Elevation / windage in cm Elevation / windage in MOA Clicks Speed/Energy

    Swarovski EL Range 32

    Curious if anyone has figured this out in the Swarovski "Ballistic" app: is there a way to show drop in mils in the output table view? All I see is MOA or cm. The app seems very easy to use aside from this. My ammo is right there in the drop down list, no need to input BC, velocity, or weight...

    Swarovski EL Range 32

    Closest target that will range is 10 yards. Close targets range just as fast as things that are far. I've never archery hunted but I would imagine you could definitely use these for that. I've heard on podcasts that lots of folks prefer the ergonomics of a handheld monocular rangefinder over...

    Swarovski EL Range 32

    I just bought the EL Range 8x32. Haven't had a chance to put it through its paces but up to now really happy with my decision. I personally didn't want to go up in size vs my current bino so the 32 was the right choice. Size and weight are exactly the same as my Vortex Viper 8x42. Don't have to...

    Exporting Riflescope From U.S. to Canada

    I recently jumped through a few hoops to buy a riflescope from Maven and have it exported to Canada. I’ve gotten lots of great intel from these forums and figured I’d give back a little. How-To Guide Purchase process with Maven was easy peasy. Placed the order just like any other on the...

    Choosing an 8x32 Rangefinding Bino

    Awesome feedback. Thanks to those who chimed in! I think I’ll give Doug a call to chat more about the GPOs and relative value vs the high end models. As a quick aside: I’ve been a long time reader of these forums but have never posted until this week. Thanks for the honest feedback, cordial...

    Choosing an 8x32 Rangefinding Bino

    Appreciate the feedback @eshunt. From what I hear, the Swaro 10x42 are known to be excellent and it doesn’t surprise me that the rest of their product line follows the same trend. I also remember reading through a long thread last year on the Geovid Pros when they came out and they seemed to...

    Choosing an 8x32 Rangefinding Bino

    I'm looking to upgrade my bino/rangefinder setup. I'm a rifle hunter out east who primarily hunts moose. I've convinced myself that I want to simplify my setup and save weight by getting a pair of 8x32 rangefinding binos. Currently using 8x42 Vortex Vipers that have served me well. I don't see a...
