These or Kowa Genisis

[ridgefire]

I am looking at upgrading my binocs and have been leaning towards the Kowa Genisis 10.5x44 but came across these for $1000obo. What binocs would you buy between the two if they were in the same price range? Are these the newer model of the SLC? I do not have the SS#. Thanks.

I suspect the kowas are nice but we all know those SLC's are a solid choice...if me I'd go with the swaros, although the older model they rarely disappoint.

Those are older SLC’s but id still probably go with them.

You can’t go wrong with a Swarovski and if you’re not happy with them you can resell them them without taking a hit

That’s the deal to me, I think the kowas have the edge besides resale

The slc’s are an awesome bino, all around great hunting optics
