Kowa binoculars

[Dave Thomas]

How do the kowa binoculars compare to the Swarovski? I might be upgrading my nikons. My use is southeastern whitetail hunting and prs.

Which Nikons do you have?

I looked really hard into Kowa, they have amazing glass in the genesis Xd.

From what I know, the Swaro will shine in low light and shadows.

Might also give meopta a look too, if budget is around that $1k mark

If you're not buying Swaro, Lieca or Zeiss, buy Kowa's.

They are the monarch 7. I didn't include that earlier because I couldn't think of the model and couldn't get to them at that time. There is no specific budget just would like to know how different binoculars compare because I don't have the opportunity to compare a bunch of different ones. At the match yesterday I looked through a pair of slc and they were better than mine. Most people had vortex and I didn't try theirs.

 

[mc1119]

For the price of new Kowa XD you can get a used pair of Swaro EL.

So with that, I don’t think you’d be disappointed in either route you go. Good luck, glass is definitely an analysis paralysis topic.

Not sure if they changed it, but I believe they do not have the threaded hole for a stud so you can mount it on a tripod. It may or may not matter to you.

Is the swaro's better then anything else? Is there a big differance between swaro and other brands or is it just small improvements? I would hate to upgrade for a just very slight better view. The slc I looked through were better than mine but I don't know if it was a huge upgrade.

Nothing compares to the Swaro NL Pures.

Below that grade, it's a lot of personal preference between Swaro ELs, Zeiss, and Leica.
