Big Browns Report post Posted June 26, 2008 Well I finally bit the bullet and bought a pair of Swarovski's 15's today. WOW! They are awesome. I've been using the 10x42 EL's, and I love them. but now I get to see the world. I cant wait to go glassing this weekend. If you dont have a pair sell your wife, child, girlfriend or car and buy some. You wont regret it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Rabbit Report post Posted June 26, 2008 In a recent issue of Western Hunter, Chris Denham had a review of the Kowa High Lander Prominar binoculars. If one is a polygamist, one might have to sell all of the wives, but could be darn well worth it. At $4500, I don't see one in my future. (but I will let Rica guide your quail hunt for $5Gs per weekend ) Kowa High Lander BB, you should really enjoy those new Swaros! Hope you draw a tag and get to go on many others' hunts with the new optics. RR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim, BB's El's were not crushed like yours but they were in bad shape. At least I thought so. So I called Swaro and they said send them in. The lady told me that as far as they are concerned its their product and they will fix it. But one thing she did mention to me was that they were going to become more strict on their warranty because I guess too many people were taking advantage of it. She did not go into any details on it. Hopefully it goes smoothly for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flagstaff Report post Posted June 27, 2008 When I got mine, I thought I died and gone to Heaven. I own the 10X42 SLC, but the 15's sure made things so much more enjoyable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLG Report post Posted June 27, 2008 I am pulling the trigger tomorrow on a HD80, spotting scope. I bought a pair of 15 x 56's last year and love them as well. I was out with Younghunter last year and he had his HD 80 and put 4" spikes on a WT at 1200-1400 yards, that has been running around in my mind ever since. I can't wait for big game season to get rolling this fall. I have a friend who drew a rifle antelope tag in 19A, along with his dad and son and I get to go and help out on that hunt. I have a cow elk tag myself. Hopefully I will get to go out on my own deer hunt as well as a couple of others. The fall can't come fast enough this year, Take Care, JLG. PS, Enjoy your new Binos.
