    Swarovski EL range

    I’m considering upgrading my binos. I’m thinking EL range 10x42. I don’t need that tracking function though. Anyone in particular I should be talking too regarding deals etc

    You’ve got the el ta ? What were you using previously?

    Yeah. I’ve been using geovids since 2009. A good upgrade then ?

    Stacy and the team at Hamils Tauranga would be worth a chat.

    I recently got to upgrade from my HD-B Geovids to the new Swaro EL TA setup. My honest first impressions were that they were not that natural in the hands, definitely preferred the geovids in this regard. I also find the eye box very fussy to my face and I have to have them almost exactly in the right position to avoid shading in the bottom half of my picture. This is very much an individual thing though as we are all different. Those two things aside I am rapt with them and the glass quality and functions available are bloody awesome.

    So you can have 2x rifles with 2x different loads programmed into the binos and easily switch between the 2?

    I'm finding it a pain in the ass to change custom loads on my Geovids via MICROSD and a laptop.

    I better start doing some research. Apparently the new Leica pros have this feature I'm referencing

    Ultimately this is what I'm after, as I use 2x different rifles depending on location

    It’s either 5 or 9 loads you can have saved and switch between I think it’s 5 and the zeiss was 9 I looked at both irrelevant for me at the minute as my 2nd rifles still in the making il have a look now
