Progress through precision and technology is a philosophy ingrained in the Swarovski family’s genetic code, and their companies have remained true to this day to this shared principle and the values of the founders. After the legendary Habicht, SWAROVSKI OPTIK introduced its first rifle scope in 1959, its initial extendable spotting scope in 1967 and, in 1971, the world’s first rubber-armored binocular. In 1976, another worldwide premiere saw the launch of a rifle scope equipped with a proprietary shock absorber for preventing recoil injuries to the eye. In 1994 SWAROVSKI OPTIK introduced the first telescope. And, in 1999, the SWAROVSKI OPTIK EL binocular with the world’s first wrap-around grip captured Field and Stream Magazine’s Best of the Best Award, making it the development of the decade. Since 2007, the Z6 rifle scope range with the first 6x zoom has received international acclaim among the world’s hunting fraternity. In all, over 30 national and international awards pay tribute to the company’s innovative strength, the superior precision and uncompromising quality and also to the elegance and the innovative design that go into the SWAROVSKI OPTIK brand.

Waterfowl

Waterfowl hunting demands a lot from a shotgun. Ducks and geese are generally flying higher, faster, and are harder to kill than upland birds. Waterfowl hunting also mandates the use of nontoxic (i.e. not lead) shot. For these reasons, waterfowl guns are often fed a steady diet of magnum shells loaded with huge pellets. Due to their proximity to swamps and the miserable weather ducks and geese like to fly in, waterfowl shotguns also take a fair amount of abuse and get exposed to somewhat extreme weather. On top of all this, camouflage is an important element of waterfowl hunting so most guns built for this purpose will at least have some sort of non-reflective finish if not have some sort of camouflage pattern applied to them. Some of our favorite waterfowl guns include the Benelli Super Black Eagle II, Beretta A400, Franchi Affinity, Benelli Supernova, and Remington 870 Super Mag. Read more...
