[QUOTE="huntsman22, post: 1173417, member: 88545"] I already have a pair of Swaro spotters, STS-80, STM-65 and didn't want to spend the big bucks for the new ranging reticle spotter ($4000). I found that the Vortex 30x ranging eyepiece will work on the existing swarovski's just fine. The Vortex focal length is 457.74 compared to the 460 on the Swaro. I bought an eyepiece to try, as I couldn't find anybody to confirm it'd work before I spent the coin. Well, it works great. Optics are comparable, fit is good (other than the lock button don't catch on the vortex 'piece) and subtensions are so close MY eye can't tell the difference. And the cost is $189 from B&H or $199 from Cameraland. Great way to get a ranger cheap, if you already have the glass..... Or buy a used scope/vortex eyepiece.....
