Hawkwatch International - Hawk Watchers Chime in on Optics




10x50 SLC is the go to for West County Hawk Watch, Tried them all these work best for me, fond of Zeiss and Leica, But coming from the West Coast GGRO culture, really like what Swarovski has to offer. Regarding shaky hands and comfort levels, being 6'3" and 300lbs holding them "steady" is never a problem and to be perfectly honest have used them from dawn to dusk without really feeling they were to heavy, all that said I am very interested in the 12x50 and even the 15x56, just don't have the funds. One last note I've had the 10x50s for 15 years and they are still like new, very durable product and Swarovski has been very helpful in replacing lost or worn parts free of charge.
