ricodabears Report post Posted August 29, 2014 I am trying to trade my 10x50 Vortex Razor HDs for some 10x42s. I have a pair of Kaibabs now so I would like to downsize a bit. A guy wants to trade me some Swarovski 10x42 slc non HDs. He says he doesn't like the eye cups on them. He just had them serviced and has paperwork showing that they put on new lenses and other parts. I would like to get some opinions on which glass is better. I was hoping to find somebody that wanted to trade me a pair of the 10x42 Razors but no luck so far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ricodabears Report post Posted August 29, 2014 Even the the non-hd model slc's? They are about 5-6 yrs old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MuleyJ Report post Posted August 29, 2014 What do you mean by "downsize?" I just measured my SLC 10x42 and it is about an inch and a quarter shorter than the razor spec length. Depending on which version of slc they would weigh between 30.7 and 33 oz., so they will be 2.5-5 oz. heavier. To me that does not seem like to much of a downsize.

MuleyJ Report post Posted August 29, 2014 Apparently I need to find someone with some 12x50 razors and point them in the direction of you guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricodabears Report post Posted August 29, 2014 if you read my post you would see I was originally trying to trade for the 10x42 Razors so that would have been my "downsize".... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricodabears Report post Posted August 29, 2014 All joking aside a appreciate the specs you put up. Gives me some important info. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MuleyJ Report post Posted August 29, 2014 I did read your post, but I though you were wanting to reduce size and/or weight to justify giving up exit pupil and you really won't be doing that by going to the SLC. Not to mention the fact you will no longer have a warranty, but I guess at least you'll be getting something with a hawk on it so go for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ricodabears Report post Posted August 29, 2014 Ya MuleyJ I hear you on the warranty and I am a huge fan of Vortex products and their warranty. I have never owned Swarovski binos before and just wanted to get some input. Thanks for your input Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
