Swarovski ATC worth it?

Is it worth it? Idaho backcountry hunting mule deer, elk, bears, etc. Looking at compact weight/packability

A buddy of mine just bought one off the classifieds here. We spent an hour looking through it and for the weight and size, it’s a pretty badass tool. We were looking at an orange tree about 1.25 miles as a crow flies and could distinguish oranges from one another.

It’s absolutely the perfect tool for that.

It’s a nice scope if you have to have a small scope. Every time I used mine I wished I had my bigger scope so I ended up selling it and picked up some NL14’s. I feel like the ATC/STC is probably the best small scope on the market.

This is through my ATC I sold with an iPhone 13 at Almost a mile.

I had an ATX/BTX setup with 95 and 65mm objectives. After comparing the ATC with the 65mm ATX I sold that 65mm objective. The ATC is an awesome piece of glass.

Every time I look through my STC, I'm still blown away by how good of an eye piece they were able to get on that small of a scope. The field of view is incredible for that size as well.

It was not the right tool for field judging antelope on my WY Hunt last year, but I still got by just fine. If money weren't the limiting factor, I'd also keep a high end 80mm+ in the truck.

Compact quality, can't go wrong with it

I have an ATC on order. Looking forward to comparing it to my 13 year old magnesium body ATM 20-60x65 HD. Likely will sell one or the other after my comparison on sheep behind the house.

Edited regarding eye piece diameter.

Love my atc, I carry it in the lid of my k4 super easy to pull out and use and for under 1200y it runs just as good as my older ats but its tiny

Eventually that’s the plan! One day ill have a BTX with a 115 but until then!

Eye protection eve apparently is the same OD on both scopes so my phone scope set up will work for digiscoping. I do some comparisons between them on sheep on the mt behind the house. Hope the compact hangs with the old scope, at least to 40X.

ATC has the same OD as the ATX, not the ATM.
