How To Choose The Right Swarovski Spotting Scope For Your Needs?

We hear this question daily.  What is the best Swarovski spotting scope for my needs?  We go by a few simple rules of thumb. For those individuals who prefer to use their Swarovski spotting scopes in the full standing position, which is common in many birding applications, then an angled spotting scope is desirable. For those who wish to take a straight line of sight or wish to keep their silhouette as small as possible, Swarovski straight spotting scopes give more of an advantage. The straight spotting body and eye piece is very popular with hunters. Generally, digital photographers and birders prefer the higher resolution associated with a High Definition (HD) spotting scope. In contrast most shooters can get by just fine with any one of the non HD models. However if extreme observation distances are typical, then once again, the user may wish to think about a Swarovski HD spotting scope.

Finally, we are constantly questioned whether a 65mm spotting scope should be  considered or whether a Swarovski 80mm spotting scope should be considered.  Again your application will help you decide this question.   In general, the user cares most about weight savings and less about maximum resolution, then certainly a 65mm spotting scope should be considered.  In all, it is worth remembering that the Swarovski 80mm spotting scopes are not only very rugged (like the 65mm model) but extremely compact and light for a full size spotting scope. 

We carry all of these fabulous spotting scopes and fully guarantee that you will be satisfied with your Swarovski spotting scope purchase.   As a reminder, Swarovski spotting scopes are ALL backed by Swarovski Optik of North America's limited lifetime warranty as long as you purchase your Swarovski optic from an authorized Swarovski dealer such as Bear Basin Outfitters.   Also we offer a works Swarovski spotting scope package that includes your choice of Swarovski bodies & eye pieces, Swarovski tripods, Swarovski window mounts, deluxe cleaning kits and more.
