Broken Wheels Report post Posted August 11, 2008 You can upgrade by purchasing some Fujinon's in 15X60's. I had a pair of Swarovski 15X56's and went out with a pair of die hard glassing hunters with their Fujinon's and man I would never have believed it, but from dawn to dusk my Swarovski's couldn't out-peform the Fujinon's. I had sold three rifles in order to get my Swarovski's but took no time to sell them and make the switch to Fujinon! Bought my wife a pair as well and could buy 4 pair for the price of the Swarovski's, not knocking them just compared them in the field and couldn't deny the obvious. Just thought you all would like to know! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just thought you all would like to know! Dude... You are out of your mind if you think Fuji's are better than Swaro's!!! You just got out glassed by guys with better eyes and lower budgets!! I have friends that can out glass the average hunter with a pair of Tasco's!!! That does not make me want to sell my Swaro's for them!!!! Fuji's are great when they are new but they fade really quickly if you use them.... and you won't even realize it. The life span on all the Fuji's we have ever tried was about 2-4 years.... Swaro's last 4-ever!!!!! Trust me.... I am not willing to part with a very well trained pair of Swaro's to down grade.... I'm just re-gearing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didnt realize how sensitive some folks are on this website! Guess I should "re-word" this to say in my humble yet experienced opinion the Fuji's work better for me then the Swaro's. This in no way means all of us are of the same opinion but I surely wouldn't consider my hunting buddies to be on "lower budgets" or that they have "better eyes" then myself. One thing I must ask though I probably shouldn't but here it is, how do you know the Fuji's "fade real quickly" when you followed that statement up with "and you wont even realize it"? I am looking for a Swarovski spotting scope in case any of you know of someone looking to "re-gear" as well, as I do appreciate quality optics such as Swarovski.

cooper Report post Posted August 15, 2008 Not to throw a wrench in this but My Nikon Monarchs can find anything my buddys Steiners can and he is a heck of a scouter. I have used Swaros and yes I loved them but for the money, and Nikons 25 year guarantee; Nikons are best for your buck. BUT…I would like to think my Nikons are just a stepping stone to Swaros. Maybe once I get older and can afford Swaros, I will enjoy that luxury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
