Whistler Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 There are spotting scopes and there are spotting scopes. I have had the good fortune to be looking through this the last few days and all I can say is wow but at $6500+ it’s out of my league. 65x zoom and as clear as. I was watching a couple on the beach fishing over 2klm away and could see him putting line through the guides on his fishing rod, absolute amazing clarity.

Snipe Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 LOL, I thought you were going to say you seen a couple doing other things and could see every detail. Would be a blast to look through a good one but who's ever going to pay for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
264 Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Glenn, I was in the same boat. Swaro is exceptional but we found carting it around in NZ was hard work Great from camp, to spot tahr then decide on how to get there. Ive gone with a vortex razor 16-48x65, optics are good Compared them too the Zeiss gavia and swaro 85mm . Significant weight reduction. Optics wise still good glass. Huge difference in price! Swaro did a magnesium model that hunters like but have discontinued............... When coved is over might get to use it in NZ. Watto on the swaro's above camp 850m away pulled up 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17dave Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) Agreed. Wow. By the way, how did you come to be looking thru a 6.5K spotting scope. Edited February 6, 2021 by 17dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good woman and I are down at a mates place (One of his Holliday homes around the country) here in Mallacoota for a few days and a scope like this is just pocket money spent on another toy. To say he is well off is a massive understatement. Whistler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laraherring007 Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 I have also heard from close friends that these Bushnell are really great. Have you used them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snipe Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 I got a lower budget big mag spotter that punches above it's weight. A Vanguard for about $400 or so when they brought out a new model and put the original ones on sale. Not sure how far, but I recon you could check out animals at a fair range. Who can justify the price of a top end spotting scope, I hardly ever use mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
