Cohunter1989 Report post Posted January 11, 2020 Looking for some 15x56 maybe even lower powered let me know what you have. Probably can’t do $1700+. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muledeerarea33? Report post Posted January 11, 2020 If you can do $1699 or under then look at the Zeiss 15’s or used swaro’s. If your closer the $1000 and under then there’s a few options. Hate to say it since I’ve heard it my whole life but..... save for the swaro’s! Once I got mine I knew why. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a new hunter without that kinda budget, I've been told that too. I have some Vultures I bought from a cool member on here, and a razor spotter from another great CWT member, and my optics won't be upgraded until I have put aside the cash (maybe 2025? 🤣) to get some 15x56s. I've already bought twice on the scope and other equipment that I thought i could get a decent knock-off that ultimately failed. I'm a broken record in mentioning this, but I was able to get a side by side comparison between Swaros and Vultures when I went on my glassing lesson with Duwane Adams, It knocked my socks off how we could be looking at the same hill. The Vultures are great, everything is clear and there isn't any edge effect. The details on the mountain and animals were good BUT colors, contrast, brightness, fine detail were nothing when compared to Duwane's Swaro setup. I know I'm going to be buying twice (but hey, my kid will need optics too), but I'm not buying 3 or 4 times. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cohunter1989 Report post Posted January 11, 2020 Yeah it’s kind of what I’ve heard. My wife has other ideas though. But I may just pull the pin and get swarms... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
northAZarcher Report post Posted January 11, 2020 If you aren't buying the Swarovski HDs, save yourself a few hundred and buy the meopta 15s over used Swarovski non HD. They are better in my option and can usually be had for 1100-1200 on these sites. They use the same type glass as the swaro HDs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or just buy my ELs on here 😁I promise you won’t regret buying either of them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
