Kowa 554 DVOR

[bigbuckdj]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a new one this cheap, might be worth snagging if someone has the need.

Where is this?

 

[bigbuckdj]

DVOR, it is like the clearance outlet for optics planet

[mention]Jvolt [/mention] if you download the app and search for kowa it should be at the top.

Looks like it’s $1350 to your door (taxes will change a bit)

To be honest I’ve never ordered anything from them but I know they are part of optics planet. I’ve bought from optics planet quite a bit and their boxes say optics planet and dvor. I do see some nice deals but it’s never anything I’m looking for.

Thanks for the info. When I asked if OP would honor the price, they said they can’t price match their sister company

They are legit I’ve ordered from them a couple times. They don’t seem to have the back order problem optics planet has had as they only sell what’s in stock.

I’ve ordered from them too, legit.

Ordered one. Been on the fence for a month or two since I left my Athlon spotter in the truck I rented from a local guy in Lanai who ghosted me when I texted him after getting back to Oahu and asking him about it. Hawaii is fun.

But this is the best price I’ve seen, and I want something so light that the weight isn’t a concern. So my 4 lb 4 oz Slik and Sirui tripod and head combo is going to need an upgrade as well.

I considered this, but went with the baby razor instead. It helps I don't know what I'm missing out on

I've ordered alot from them and scopes. Sometimes you get prices from them that are insane and idk how they do it. But it's legit.

Yeah the baby razor is much more affordable. I know vortex isn’t like on rokslide. Only comparison I have is a knowledgeable buddy thought his viper 65mm was better than the razor 50

I'm sure and I've got the 85mm razor, but I stepped down in bino quality from razors to fury's and down from 12x to 10x so I wanted some tool to peek just a bit further.

I’ve found the Tricer LP head ($189 on Gohunt) and Slik 150 ($59 on Amazon) to be ideal for the 50 mm class spotter. Don’t have an ounce scale but the head weighs 4.5 ounces and the tripod/ball head weighs 2.3, the ball head I removed feels several ounces heavier the the lp panhead so I think the combined comes under 2lbs I’m almost certain. The LP is just comes with an arca Swiss clamp so you’ll need a small generic arca swiss compatable plate for 554 if you go that route.

At 2x-3x the price I wonder if the benefit is worth the cost? I’m still not sure my SLC 15x are +-$600 better than other 15x or 18x

Well I had the baby razor break on me on me on a hunt. I also thought the zoom range from 20 to 33 did a good job of making a blurry image bigger so I'll give it that. I was going to spend the money on something anyway, might as well be alpha glass.
