News for Swarovski lovers
Well received in Australia is Swarovski’s excellent range of binoculars, spotting scopes and rifle scopes. Over the past 25 years I’ve been with Sporting Shooter Magazine, I’ve had the pleasure of testing much of their product through their Australian distributors and actually choose to use their gear myself in the field. In recent times though, recognizing a growing market, Swarovski have decided to show their presence in Australia directly, by opening a Swarovski Optik office in Sydney, N.S.W.
No, you won’t be able to buy direct, however, dedicated to its customers, Swarovski will now supply direct to select gun shops Australia wide, providing them with the full range of optics plus after sale service and warranty. Swarovski Optik recently provided a pair of the new EL-Range binoculars with built in range finder and let me tell you, the quality and clarity is excellent. To see a full report, don’t miss Australasian Sporting Shooter magazine- May 2012 issue.
