    • Reticle in the second image plane: the target observed is magnified while the size of the reticle remains the same.

Swarovski Traveler EL Binocular (8x32)

Swarovski Traveler EL Binocular (8x32) Review



Swarovski Traveler EL Binocular (8x32) Feature

  • Versatile travel binocular with 8x magnification and 32mm objective lens
  • Legendary wraparound grip makes the binocular easy to use with 1 hand
  • Premium diamond-bright optic for viewing items in low-light conditions
  • 420-foot field of view at 1,000 yards; large, grooved focusing wheel
  • Water-submersible up to 13 feet; weighs 21.5 ounces; lifetime warranty
Swarovski's EL 32 Traveler binoculars combine maximum functionality, innovation, and design, making them ideal for almost any situation. Terrific companions on the mountain, in difficult terrain, and for general travel and leisure, this version of the EL 32 Traveler boasts such features as 8x magnification, a 32mm objective lens diameter, and an outstanding diamond-bright optic, helping the binocular excel whether you're identifying birds in the trees or observing wildlife in wide-open habitats. The binocular also offers a legendary wraparound grip, which makes the EL 32 Traveler comfortable to use even with one hand. Perhaps more than anything, users will love the unit's low weight and compact housing, which help the binocular fit into the pocket of almost any outdoor coat.

The binocular lens is a breeze to clean thanks to the nonstick Swaroclean coating on the outer surface. The coating is particularly effective when you need to remove dried-on mineral residues (such as water marks from condensation), insect repellents, and tree resin. The coating also helps the lenses last longer than many other binocular lenses by requiring less cleaning. Finally, the EL 32 Traveler is well suited to observation at close quarters thanks to the close focus setting of only 7 feet. Other features include a large, grooved focusing wheel for rapid focusing even with gloves; handy thumb rests; and an airtight, dustproof housing that's submersible in water up to 13 feet. The EL 32 Traveler--which is nitrogen purged to prevent internal fogging--carries a lifetime warranty.

About Swarovski Optik
Although founded in 1949, Swarovski Optik's roots actually trace all the way back to 1895, when Austrian Daniel Swarovski--who invented the world's first electric grinding machine for jewelry stones--established the family-owned Swarovski Crystal in the province of Tyrol. Since then, the name Swarovski has become synonymous worldwide with the clearest crystal, precision grinding, and a brilliant spirit of innovation, as the original enterprise continued branching out into additional lines of business.

Swarovski Optik owes its rise to Wilhelm Swarovski, son of the original founder and an avid hobby astronomer, who decided to build his own improved binocular in 1935 at a mere 17 years of age. With access to the specialized glass production and finishing technologies already used to manufacture jewelry stones in his father's factory, Wilhelm managed to develop a novel prism fabrication and grinding process that he applied in constructing his first 6x30 binocular. Wilhelm went on to found Swarovski Optik KG in Absam, Tyrol, in 1949, thus laying the foundation for a sports optics company with a global reputation. His company's first serial product, the Habicht 7x42, is still an industry standard in the field of hunting optics and continues to be produced in the best tradition of its founder.

Travel the World with the New Traveler EL from Swarovski. This lightweight binocular comes with all the features of the full size EL, Swarobright coatings, Swaroclean and in the new brown color. It also comes with a matching case for easy carry

HiViz Smith&Wesson 99 Fiber Optic Front Sight (Green)

HiViz Smith&Wesson 99 Fiber Optic Front Sight (Green) Review



HiViz Smith&Wesson 99 Fiber Optic Front Sight (Green) Feature

  • Smith and Wesson front pistol sight
  • Resin overmolded green front sight
  • Fits Smith and Wesson SW99 Walther P99 and Walther P22 with optional screw
  • HiViz recommends gunsmith installation for all dovetail sights. Due to manufacturing tolerances, some firearms may require additional fitting.
HiViz handgun sights have been redesigned. With an all-new square profile, sight picture acquisition time is reduced. Serrations on the rear of the sight base combine with a slightly recessed LitePipe to eliminate the "halo effect" common to many sights and increase the durability of the toughest LitePipes available. This new design is also more holster friendly.
