    Swaro repair timeline 04-2023

    So after thanksgiving my EL Range TA’s crapped out, all electronic functionality was dead. They were within the warranty window (dop 09-2021) so I sent them in for service. Below is a timeline for people to reference since I just got these back today. Note that these times might be inflated...

    Swarovski EL Range TA Review, By Matt Cashell

    Those are 2nd Gen EL Ranges, not TA’s. Very big difference in coatings and laser capability

    Nightforce NX8 vs NXS??

    Be cognizant of the fact that Gen II Razors are a total boat anchor of a scope. Like seriously, I don’t consider myself a weight weenie, but they are HEAVY. Great on a PRS rifle but any rifle lighter than about 10 pounds and things get a little topsy turvy. The 5-25 Leupold is a solid choice...

    Swaro STX vs BTX

    Gotcha, yeah that makes sense. Appreciate the help fellas, now just gotta see about getting this STS down the road and getting an STX eyepiece ordered. I’m pretty excited. Thanks!

    Sig Cross

    I think for a kick around truck gun to pop coyotes/deer or a kid gun they’re solid. Mine wasn’t super impressive, about a 5” gun at 300yds with all the flavors of Hornady match/precision hunter. The handguard is super flimsy too, I could make the end of the handguard touch the barrel by tweaking...

    Swaro STX vs BTX

    Gotcha. Is it a problem just because of the extra weight and nuisance of the phone, or something optically about just looking through one eyepiece? I’m pretty much 100% in the STX camp now, but curious for down the road.

    Nightforce NX8 vs NXS??

    If I was in your shoes I’d be looking at a Mk5 3-18 or a Zeiss LRP S3 over an NX8. I find both quite a bit easier to get behind than the NX8 or NXS, and definition/clarity is significantly better on the Zeiss. I’m really not a huge fan of Leupold reticles but the optics make up for it imo.

    Swarovski EL Range TA Review, By Matt Cashell

    Funny, I had the exact same thing happen with mine. Bought Sept of 21, electronics were totally dead by Nov of 22. Mine started as a significant decrease in battery life, then they refused to work in temps under 40-50 degrees (hunting weather… lol), then the electronics just 100% died. Have you...

    Alpha range finding binocular tech

    The Swaro, Zeiss, and Leica all use a similar onboard solver that computes based off bullet weight, BC, muzzle velocity, temp and pressure. Basic stuff but it’s proven to be within a tenth or so of my AB Kestrel to about 1k. All have onboard temp/pressure which will update your data in real...

    Digiscoping - Magview vs. Ollin

    Another question for scopecam users, have you had any issue with more vignetting in your time using it? It looks like the adapter sits pretty far off the lens of the phone cam since it has to clear the case and protective bezel around the cameras that are on most cases. That aside it looks...

    Alpha range finding binocular tech

    I’ve owned the EL Range TA 10’s for about a year and a half now, and echo the sentiment above about the rangefinder in the Zeiss. I prefer the swaro glass but the Zeiss RF seems to tag natural terrain and animals better in my experience. The one thing the swaro has going for it in that...

    Swaro STX vs BTX

    I’m leaning STX now myself. I think the big thing I’m concerned about leaving on the table at this point is comfort more than anything, and I haven’t ever really been uncomfortable behind my STS with the wide angle eyepiece on it. Maybe I’m just psyching myself out. Out of curiosity what do you...

    Swaro STX vs BTX

    Sorry if this is a redundant post, but had a couple questions on this that I haven’t seen addressed elsewhere. I’m looking to upgrade from my current Swaro STS-65 into the modular spotter series, but I’m waffling big time between the BTX and the STX eyepieces. Primary use will be...
