Swarovski to release 14x NL’s

[Sadler]

Looks like my Idaho moose tag refund just found a new home

 

[WeiserBucks]

I'll be a buyer the minute they're in stock

Assuming they are like any other new release from Swaro they are gonna be hard to get for atleast a year

 

[WeiserBucks]

Most of the pictures I can find looks like the objective caps are permanently attached? Thats going to suck in the wind. I ripped the caps off my 15s the instant I realized how much movement they induced on the binos in even a mild wind.

I would guess they will be like the other NLs. You can take them off.

It looks like it might be time to go back to range finding binos in the chest and 14x binos in the pack.

I hope that's the case.

Just a heads up, we are accepting preorders and expect delivery the beginning of July. Please give a call, 516-217-1000, to discuss them.

Looking at the video that Epic put on the gram, they look the same but cant tell for sure. You just have to pull on them and they will come off. They attach to a pin built into the bino and the covers attach to that.

Less FOV than the 12x42. That's disappointing.

 

[WeiserBucks]

Looks like I'm gonna find out, #4 pre-order in line at Eurooptic.

 

[pattimusprime22]

Were you expecting higher FOV with more magnification?

Dang those are cool. Now I need to sell a kidney

It's also a wider objective. I believe they can also shorten up the unit to gain FOV. Given that this glass is only ideal on a tripod, I'd have preferred a 15x60 or similar.

From what I had heard from a Swaro rep, the objective lens size doesn't drive the FOV, but just increases light gathering and exit pupil. Perhaps with more exit pupil they could change internal geometry to increase FOV more, but now I'm just making up stuff that I don't know about.

Outdoorsmans is also taking pre-orders on their new stud specific to the new NL for anyone interested.

Correct, design drives the FOV.

I would think that wider tubes would create more space. Combine this with shortening the unit, and you get more FOV degrees?

I may have potentially talked myself out of them for now. Currently using the BR4 and NL 12x42’s. If I make the switch to Revic Ranging binos and the 14X52 pures, it’ll add 28oz to my optics and cost me about $2500 after resale. I think I see enough deer with my 12’s…. For now…..
