WTS Kowa 663ed

[dapesche]

** sold **


I'm going to make the jump up to either the 773 or 883.

I may regret this sale because this spotter is lightweight with awesome optics but I want a little more reach and possibly the use of the magnifier.

I'll post some pics that I took as a comparison against a 65sts HD as well as some goat pics from this fall.

I actually had bought a 65atx and I'm in the process of returning it and eating about 250 in fees because it was only slightly better than the 663 spotter. Honestly, FOV was the only thing that was noticeably better with the 65atx.

I want a bigger objective though so the 663ed needs to go.

$900 shipped via paypal f&f.

Wait…swaro is the best. All the local leg humpers tell us that! How dare you post pictures that show otherwise.

you bet. It's good for folks to see the quality of this spotter.

I think it's just over 1000 grams. Swaro ats60 is around 1300grams and the swaro atx65 is 1900 grams.


The comparison photos of the vehicle in the carport makes it look like the swaro is sharper but I was trying to focus on the clock. I found it was easy to focus the kowa with my thumb vs. using the barrel adjust on the swaro.

With my eye, I could make out the hard edges of the numbers on the clock and someone could guess what number they were seeing. The Swaro just was a fuzzier. I just couldn't get it as sharp as the kowa so I guess that I had the right focus when I took the photos but it looks like I had focused to near.

Those Kowas are great. Especially good in the 20-40x range. I had mine next to a Swaro 65hd that I also owned and the difference was negligible. You will love the 77 or 88. GLWS.

I love my kowa 884. I have the 25-60x wa pure fluorite eyepiece. Get one.

You’ll love the 77.
I too found it much better than an ATS HD.
Nice pics!

I am sure I'll regret selling this spotter if I ever go on a solo goat or sheep hunt.

What's the difference between the 663M and your 663ed?

I've looked thru a Kowa Prominar 99. That thing is bad-@$$!

Someone thought the m standed for magnesium. 663m is heavier than 663ed because of that. Optically the same.
