Thread: High end binos

The difference with the Swaros is like this : I can look across a paddock of pasture and see a Hares ear with the Swaros but with other glasses it just looks like a Plantain leaf

This is exactly what a friend and I noticed the other evening.
We were both looking at a deer in poor light, right on dusk.
I was using my EL 10x42’s and he was using his Sig Kilo3000 BDX binos.
The Sig 3000’s have very good glass, but my EL’s were brighter and made the colour of the deer out much better in the low light.
We both swapped binoculars and could both see the difference clearly.
The result of using the better glass will be spotting a lot more animals over a lifetime of hunting with the better optics.
