pjb45 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Valada makes a great scope. Might be a little heavy for some. But the optics are very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9X23Guy Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 So I got to looking at my optic when I took it out of the box this weekend. Unfortunately I found a imperfection in the glass that I could see in the reticle. It was not a scratch looked like a small pocket of something seated deep in the glass. I contacted Swarovski and they are sending a brand new one as soon as they get mine as they are paying for the shipping. The tilt sensor turns off the optic when you tilt it more than 30° left or right and automatically turns back on when you tilt it back up. Same if you raise or lower the scope more than 70° as if you were slinging a rifle or carrying it in the low ready and again cones back on when you level the scope. Now all of this can be turned off by holding both intensity adjustment buttons at the same time for five seconds. All in all, other than being as much as a used car, an amazing optic and I can't wait to get mine back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickB Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Can each tilt feature be turned off individually or both must be on or off? I can see the use for the vertical off feature but for rifle matches, when tilting to use an offset optic or tilting the rifle to shoot under a low barricade I would definitely want the horizontal off feature disabled. Now, when are Swarovski going to come out with a 1-8x version? Any rumours? Mick So I got to looking at my optic when I took it out of the box this weekend.

I was a little worried about that also... (and i paid less for my used car...) no blemishes on my lenses though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9X23Guy Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Once you turn off the tilt feature it disables both vertical and horizontal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teejay Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Does it come with the extended zoom lever? Some call it a cat-tail. And if not do the Gen1 scope levers fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskapopo Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Does it come with the extended zoom lever? Some call it a cat-tail. And if not do the Gen1 scope levers fit? Will let you know this sunday after I bring my original throw lever for my Gen 1 Swarovski to 9x23guy at the match. In the pictures the power ring seems the same but won't know for sure until we try it. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertl35 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 The gen 1 throw levers work on the gen 2. My gen 2 did not come with a throw lever and I got the throw levers from Euro optic for $25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larry weeks Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 MGMs lever is the thinnest I've seen if that matters. Most folks run the scopes higher than my no-neck build can, so lever to rail clearance usually isn't a problem. And, MGM supports the sport.

9X23Guy Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Just got my replacement scope in yesterday, I had to wait for it to come in from Austria. I was surprised to see my original scope get through quality control but I can't say enough good things about their customer service. Great product, can't wait to run it at Larue in a few weeks.

SteveT-NV Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Ours fits the gen1 and 2. Lowest rail to scope clearance on the market. www.3gunstuff.com/?page_id=218 Your throw lever is nice. I gave my stock one that came with the scope to 9x23guy. Pat + 1 on the 3 Gun Stuff Throw Lever. Fits the scope perfectly, looks like a well built product. I just replaced my Meopta with the new Swaro. I loved my Meopta, but the Swaro is definitely a step up. Better optical quality, the 6X is nice and possibly my favorite feature is the smaller central dot over the Meopta. As has been said many times, the Swaro may not improve my scores much, if at all, but it is sure is fun having the coolest toy(s)! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
