WTS Swarovski Binoculars 8x56 SLC 58253 Austria Low Light Hunting Like New

[jrad]

For sale is a Swarovski SLC 8x56 Model 58283 from my personal collection.

Condition is like new, they have been stored in my safe and only used indoors. I had the manufacturer tighten up the hinge (see condition report in the photos) and do routine service in January 2024 shortly after I purchased them.

The SLC 8x56 was built by Swarovski for one job above all others, first and last light. If you hunt mornings and evenings from a stand or a blind, the SWARO 8x56 has been the European low-light standard for decades. Nothing is easier to hold steady or easier on the eyes in the near dark.

What you're getting, and why it costs what it does new (~$2,600 to $2,800):

• 93% light transmission with a 7mm exit pupil, the brightest, most relaxed low-light view Swarovski builds
• Fluoride HD glass with SwaroBright, SwaroTop, and SwaroDur coatings for edge-to-edge sharpness and true color
• 23mm of eye relief with click-stop twist-up eyecups, comfortable with or without glasses
• 400 ft field of view at 1000 yards
• Magnesium chassis, roughly 30% lighter than aluminum, fully rubber armored
• Waterproof to 13 ft and nitrogen-purged fogproof, rated from -13 to 131°F
• Made in Austria
• Lifetime warranty

I bought these new from an authorized US Swarovski dealer in October 2023. They are in like-new condition, never used outdoors. Glass is flawless, no haze, fungus, or scratches; body is clean with no wear. Focus and diopter are smooth, collimation is dead on. The full original kit is included, and the Swarovski lifetime warranty transfers to you.
