SWAROVSKI OPTIK NORTH AMERICA Announces Cranston, Rhode Island - SWAROVSKI OPTIK NORTH
AMERICA, a subsidiary of the Austrian-based company, is pleased to announce the
new STR 80 spotting scope. Offering HD optics and an illuminated reticle, the
STR 80 is excellent for estimating distance and will allow you to see targets
at long range. Great at the range or in the field, the new rugged and
ergonomically designed STR 80 scope offers an illuminated MOA or MRAD reticle
with 15 brightness levels, 10 day levels and 5 night levels. The reticle, which
will get larger or smaller with the object in view as the magnification is adjusted,
is extremely useful to help a shooter adjust shots in ¼ MOA or 0.10th MRAD
increments at a long range. Also versatile, the STR 80 can be used as a regular
spotting scope as needed by allowing the reticle to be completely removed from
view. Current SWAROVSKI OPTIK eyepieces, the 20-60x and the 25-50xW (wide), can
be used with the STR 80, adding to its versatility. The STR 80 has an HD optical system
which allows you to identify, with high resolution, bullet holes in paper
targets at long distances. The HD lenses provide rich contrast and exceptional
color fidelity. Complete with SWAROVSKI OPTIK’s optimized specialty coatings,
SWARODUR, SWAROTOP, and SWAROCLEAN, the STR 80 will also offer 3 Picatinny
rails and a winged eye cup, which can be purchased separately. Edited by Chris Farris - October/02/2014 at 12:58 |

I honestly cannot wait to see this!
Having the ability to use a pinnacle spotter like this with a mil-dot reticle is very exciting. Swarovski Optik

Used to determine the distance to an object of known size. The reticle “grows or shrinks” with the object in view as the magnification is turned up or down. Although this performs like a first focal plane reticle, it is not called a first focal plane reticle in a spotting scope. A spotting scope only has one focal plane. This feature has the advantage that regardless of the magnification setting, accurate ranging measurements are assured.
