ATC STC Lede

Swarovski has announced its new ATC (Angled) and STC (Straight) line of compact spotting scopes. With a removable half shell, these spotters can be used with or without a tripod, which allows those who are seeking to cut as much weight as possible to retain a magnified viewing experience.

Further enhancing the usefulness and versatility in the field, these accessories provide a small complete package.
