I’ve been looking at this one. It has a mil reticle which is what I wanted. Sales price in the cart makes it worth the gamble.

Yeah , no need for a reticle in our spotter at all, it is for hunting and judging animals at distance.

Love our Swaro but it is no longer the best out there, many others are just as good these days. Glass has come a long way recently.

Tract has a spotter with a MIL reticle, and the glass is superb.

I like the whole idea of tract. But…. Their reticle is not quick or intuitive. It’s almost useless in my opinion.

I got mine at a hole in the wall gun shop. Guy sold it to them cheap so his wife wouldn’t get it in the divorce.

Elk101 had a sale on swaro 65’s last year for think 1800’ish.

OP- A few retailers will sale below map, just have to call around. CameralandNY and Epic outdoors are good places to start
