I am looking at buying a pair of Swarovski 10x42 EL binoculars. The major stores (Cabelas, Sportsmans Wharehouse, Bass Pro), all have them listed for the same price, $1969. I know there is a huge markup on optics so I guess what I am looking for a company that sales wholesale. I want to deal with a reputible company so the EBAY thing is real low on my list of places to buy from. Does anyone know of a good place to buy them?

Why the EL's? I just recently got the SLC 10x42's for 1599. In my opinion, they're a better bino for $400 cheaper. Just curious. Your gonna find that the Swaro's are priced the same wherever you look.

buy local, sometimes local shops will break you a deal or throw in some free things or no sales tax.I was going to get the 10x42el's but when the owner saw that i were glasses he said that the 8.5x42 would be better and he was right i looked though them both for about a hour and i could see alot better with the 8.5x42 so a bought them he told me that he just got them a week ago and they came with a camera adaper and threw in a hard case and swaro bino harness for free.good luck bro.

the EL's you can screw on the doubler to the eyepiece. Sportsmans has 5% off binocs. The cheapest i have seen the swaro's.
