“swarovski”

Swarovski Optik has announced the release of its improved EL binocular family, featuring SWAROVISION technology. The new models feature the inclusion of the company's FieldPro package and other features. They new binos are expected to be available on shelves in the U.S. and Canada by November 2015.

With a press of a button, Swarovski’s brand-new dS digital rangefinding riflescope factors previously inputted ballistic data, magnification setting, air pressure, temperature and shot angle, then measures the exact distance to the target. A heads-up display provides hunters with a correct aiming point and all other relevant hunting data in real time.

The company that famously rewrote expectations for brightness and clarity in hunting optics is now breaking the variable-magnification barrier with its new Z6 line.

After testing it out while hunting and wildlife watching, the author discovered the SLC 42 HD stacks up well against the company's top EL binocular.

Measuring only 4.75" long and weighing only 17 ounces, the CL is a superior binocular in a compact package.

Here’s a question for hard-core big-game hunters: How much is efficiency worth to you? Or more to the point: Is the convenience of a rangefinding (RF) binocular worth the extra money and the extra weight vs. carrying separate bino and rangefinder units?

Weighing just 24 ounces, the EL Range 32 features new a single bridge design, along with familiar EL Range features such as HD optics, magnesium housing, ballistic readout of rifle scope click corrections in MOA or MRAD, scan mode and Tracking Assistant to help narrow down the area where you took your last shot.

Warne Scope Mounts has released a 40mm Mountain Tech ring set, designed for the Swarovski dS scope.
