Adicted Report post Posted December 27, 2013 Good to hear they have good service. I know lots of people that bought vortex instead just because of the wardanty service. Vortex is coming out with a hd 20 x56. Curious to see how they look Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ylclaret Report post Posted December 27, 2013 My dad dropped my Swarovskis on his hunt in November and knocked something loose so that the eyes didn't focus together. I called Swarovski and they said send them in and I would get them back in 4-6 weeks. I had them back in two and a half weeks, and they cleaned them up, fixed the focus and I think they replaced my eye cups as well. I was definitely happy with the service I got and all it cost me was shipping and insurance to get them to Rhode Island, they paid shipping to send them back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seldom Drawn Have you been to the optometrist? You might have cataracts. I've noticed that my eyesight isn't what it used to be and last year during a checkup the optometrist told me I have them but just not far enough along to warrant surgery.

HuntHarder Report post Posted January 1, 2014 I have owned 15 swaro's, and they are nice binoculars, but I still find myself using my 10x42 el's considerably more. So much, that I got rid of the 15's. The image is just not as crisp, and no where near as bright. I doubt that 15 HD's will compare to the 10 hd's. Exit pupil is smaller = less light. I am curious to look thru them, but not expecting a dramatic change from standard 15's. Let me know what you think when they come in. I might consider changing my mind and buying another pair of 15's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted January 11, 2014 10's and 15's are used for two different purposes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HuntHarder Report post Posted January 11, 2014 I used both for finding animals, What else do you use yours for? J/k . I much prefer 10's on a tripod over 15's, then scope if looking for bedded or determining what the animal is. Nothing like having to lug around 10's, 15's and a scope.
