Wasn’t there a Swaro X5 tested?

I can’t find the eval, but I seemingly remember one being tested. No?

Yes. We didn’t get to finish the whole thing, but left side impacts caused severe shifts. Even pretty mild ones.

Ok, would love to see that completed and posted. Need something to show the Swaro fanbois who think “but it’s a Swarovski”…

Swaro scopes are super fragile, almost like Leupolds. Most have a lot of plastic parts, and it shows. Very little durability.

Oh, I am painfully aware. I learned the hard way.

Me as well. My buddy and I ruined 3 of them, just hunting, ATV/UTV scabbards, back of truck, etc. All were 1" tubes. Swaro fixed 'em, we sold them.

Is there a difference in the manufacturing process with the Kahles scopes? i know theyre the tactical sister company to Sworo so im wondering if they have the same issues

If they are that confident in swaro, let them shoot them, it will be a better “told ya so” when they have one fail miserably

I like swaro as much as anyone but would never consider one of their rifle scopes, or claim any of their optics are durable…. My binos are the most babied piece of gear I own.

Hopefully it didn't take several months for your scopes to make it back from Rhode Island. My experience was awful.
