    Well isn’t that great?! About the time I finally get an SG bino harness they come out with a new one. :cries: ;)

    Scope for a .17 HMR

    OP, as an aside, I had a CZ in 17 HMR that was just a sweetie? I used to be able to dust clay pigeons with the thing out to 200-250 yards. Pretty impressive for a riimfire? Scope on mine was an old Vari-X 2? 4.5-14.

    Swarovski SLC vs Zeiss SFL?

    Big difference in weight as the current 8X SLC has 56mm objective lenses. Swaro’s figures give the weight as 43 ounces? So you are looking at 20 ounces + lighter for the 40mm objective version of the Zeiss?

    Which to choose? 15x binos or spotter?

    Oh, I’m very happy with my 10x50 ELs. I’m no expert by any means but they seem to me to be perfect ‘go to’ option in mountainous country? That said, I do find myself wishing for a bit more magnification at times which is when I find myself pondering the 15x56? I don’t even own a spotter at the...

    Which to choose? 15x binos or spotter?

    I was at my local Sportsman’s this morning looking at the Swarovski 15x56 bino? Weight was about what I expected but the physical size wasn’t an awful lot bigger than my 10x50 ELs? Hmmmm... Then I made the mistake of picking up an ATC spotter and I was in love. Guess I better start saving my...

    Stone Glacier SkyLine Bino Harness Review

    Late to the party here, but I purchased the SG harness about a month ago. Size medium and it is a snug fit for my EL 10x50s but I love the trim design? Getting easier to get the bino in and out of the harness with time and repetition. Also, the tightening cord works quite well for aiding bino...

    Zeiss SFL a year later? How do they stack up?

    Well, obviously you need both. :O

    Swarovski EL - Overhyped?

    I purchased the 10x42 EL way back in 2002 or 2003? It was my first ‘Alpha’ bino and I have always wanted another? I’m glad I went with the 10x50 EL SV field whatever- the- hell- they call it now? I haven’t owned a Leica or Zeiss Victory, though I got to spend some time a few years back with a...

    The new Vortex Razor HD 13-39x56mm, The Mini Razor

    Been thinking about a compact spotter for a while now. Though I love the size of, and the view through, the Swarovski ATC I don’t love the price? This new Vortex sounds pretty impressive. I may wind up owning something made by Vortex after all? Does that mean I have to put a cheesy Vortex...

    SWFA 3-9 or Nightforce 3-10 SHV

    No experience with the SWFA scopes but I sure wish Nightforce would offer a mil-dot reticle in the 2-10X SHV? I’d buy several of those, at least!

    Vortex Razer HD vs Zeiss Conquest HD vs Maven B1.2

    The Zeiss Conqwst HD is a lot of Glass for the money? Don’t have any experience with the Vortex or Maven but the Zeiss is nice for under 1K$? Eurooptic seems to have the 8x32 to 10x42 available for around 800 bucks for the demo version?

    Hilleberg Niak Review, By Mike Moore

    I really like the looks of the Niak. I’ve been a Hilleberg user for about 15 years. I’ve run the Akto, Jannu, and Soulo. Sold the Akto years ago for a Red Label Soulo Damn things are bomb proof, but heavy? Would like less weight and more room than is provided by the Soulo and that Niak would fit...

    Swarovski EL - Overhyped?

    I haven’t had the occasion to try the 15x56 SLC? That said, it sounds very nice and one I might buy at some point? I glass a lot in higher draws and bluffs. Sagebrush, junipers and some firs, but fairly open country which makes me sometimes wish that my 10x50s were 12 power? My dream bino...

    What scope would you put on this rig?

    I have a Trijicon Credo 3-9x40 on my 20”. SFAR? Haven’t shot it yet but I’m looking forward to it. My first post but I’ve been lurking here in the optics threads for months.

    Swarovski EL - Overhyped?

    I have the 10x50 EL that I’m very happy with. A bit heavy but rides in the harness nicely? I picked up mine about a year ago new and for a good price. Strongly considered the NL but the price was a bit much for me. I don’t want to look through an NL cuz I know I will want one! Who says that...
