    Hey, thanks everyone for sharing on this post of me trying to sell these dual spotters!! I will definitely share what i think about them and others. I have the kowa 66s and obviously the swaros 65s and they are both amazing. What i like about the swaros is the 25-50x wide angle variable zoom. Not specifically for glassing but for digiscoping video and pictures of animals. I do though when i slow down and know a deer is in the thick stuff or an area where i know i will only see a piece of him; will glass on a higher power than 25x. Not all the way to 50x cause that will make the image not as clear plus my pupil width is not wide. And i think a person with a wider pupil width (which is everyone) would do better on 50x. But most of the time im glassing with the swaros is in 25x which is plenty and if there is any movement in your field of view, even behind vegetation, you will see it. My only con to the swaros are the swaro eyepieces are more bulkier then the kowa eyepieces. I bring this up because my pupil width is not wide and i have to barrel the scopes all the way in and that makes my nose barely touch the swaro eyepieces. Its not a big issue but the kowa eyepieces are smaller and fit my eyes better. But when i do go glass or hunt i always take the swaros cause i just like them better. The clarity on both swaro 65s and the kowa 66s are amazing. Edge to edge clarity on both is unmatched. To my eyes the kowa 66s are a tiny bit clearer. But to others, the swaro 65s are clearer. So i think you cant go wrong with either of them. If you can glass all day long you will be so happy with either set. The duals swaros and kowas in my opinion are better then the btx. More light with the duals makes for more clarity. And the angle of the btx is definitely not something i like. When i see an animal with my smaller binos and want to put my spotters on the animal. It takes seconds to swap and find the animal with the dual spotters. And i have tried it with my friends btx when he was using my duals and it took a whole lot longer to acquire the animal in the btx. But people use the btx all the time and get use to how to use it. I believe you cant go wrong with any set of big eyes including the btx. You just have to get use to it and you will make it work. And i do take the big eyes on every hunt im on, even on all my backpack hunts. So here is how i would rate them in order 1) swaro 65s (resale value does not depreciate much) 2) kowa 66s 3) btx Im selling my set of swaros cause im trying to fund another project and need the money. I hope this helps and God Bless, Gabriel

    Gentleman is almost 70 and still hunts as hard as anyone I know. That was his 54th bull elk taken. He hunts year round all over the world and has harvested most everything that can walk. At one point yrs ago he had over 20 different animals in the various books

    Helped a guy out that was building one of these on 40 footers. Pretty dang nice. We built his roof up off the containers 3 feet to add storage on top of them both and also we added doors to the sides under the roof to enter regular door and not the ends. We put solar on it and he runs an inverter and generator. He did slabs under the containers and added the middle slab later.

    I have not compared. It would be interesting though. Swarovski builds amazing optics.

    That pupillary distance I found is very finicky and certainly only set for one individual. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like there's one do-it-all big eyes set up if you consider the following three elements: 1.) light and compact enough for backpack hunting 2.) good FOV and light gathering 3.) higher magnification zoom. Easy to get 2 of the 3. At 6.5 LBs this set up would certainly be the closest though

    That not true, you can use a doubler and go 30-60 or 35-70

    Most of the merch they sell seems to be there garbage Redhead house brand chinese crap. The price of most things is more than other retailers selling the same stuff. You pay extra for the experience of shopping at the store. I would rather go to sportsmans warehouse and pay less for the same thing and have brands other than Redhead. I cannot wait for Scheels to open here in AZ. Scheels is better than both of them.

    I'm not supporting it but I wouldn't be upset if it passed. If I came to terms with anyone hunting for free, it would be the people who have hunted here for many generations before, who wouldn't have socially and physically demolished the law and ecology of the land instead of some of the people poaching and consuming AZ wildlife today, one way or another. There are likely less federally registered tribal members that hunt than hunting Californians that will migrate to Arizona in '23 alone.
