creed_az_88 Report post Posted August 8, 2013 I'm meeting a guy tomorrow to look at a swarovski spotting scope. He says its a hibacht 20-60x60. Can anybody tell me what this scope is worth if in good condition? Is there anything special I need to know about the scope before I look at it and make an offer? I have no idea how old it is. Im under the impression that the hibacht scopes are older glass and are not made anymore. Will swarovski still warranty them? I don't believe that the current owner of the scope knows much about it and Im thinking that I may be able to get it for cheap. Thanks a lot! -creed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swivelhead Report post Posted August 8, 2013 I've not heard of a 60mm Swaro scope (that does not mean much). Could be the older ST or AT 80 which are gray in color. Great scopes which usually go for $800 +/-. HD go for a little more. You might consider getting a serial # and emailing Swarovski USA. Likely they'll get back to you within 24 hours. Good luck.

creed_az_88 Report post Posted August 8, 2013 Thanks swivelhead. Its likely that it is not a 60mm. The seller does not seem to know much about it and he may be wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rclouse79 Report post Posted August 8, 2013 Do you already have 15x binoculars? Once I got a pair I sold my spotting scope on ebay, but I am not a big trophy hunter who need to judge antlers from a long ways away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
creed_az_88 Report post Posted August 8, 2013 I will probably not keep the spotter. I have a vortex spotter that serves me well. But if I can get a good deal I'll probably buy the spotting scope and trade it or sell it for a pair of 12x50s. So I guess a good question would be how much could I expect to get for a hibacht scope in good condition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
