Thread: Swarovski slc/el bino

If Southcity had seen an animal in those last 5 minutes the question would then be could it be seen through a rifle scope?

I once overheard a Swarovski rep say they wanted people to buy their binos before they bought a rifle scope. That way when they could see the animal through the binos but not their scope they would be back to buy the scope.

The Swarovski rep got it wrong in my case as I bought a Z5 and then decided I needed binoculars with good glass.
