Looking to find the current version of Swarovski SLC 15x56's at the best price. Looks like everywhere and their brother has them for $2,399. Bass Pro with the military discount is $2,160.00 and a have found a way to get another 10% off (used gift cards) making the total $1,944.00.

Anyone got a better price?

If you're willing to go used, they generally go for around $1700-1900.

Swaro's hold their value really well.

Meopta Meostars are supposed to be very comparable, and don't hold their value near as well. You can get a used Meopta in really good shape for probably around $1400-1500. Used Zeiss Conquest HD's for about $1200, and there is going to be a lot of those coming on the used market with Zeiss's current sale (buy a S6 scope, get a Conquest HD 15x56 for free).

You can also find the previous generation of the same model for even cheaper - bought mine for $1500 a couple years ago, here on the 'hide - they have a bit more chromatic aberration vs. the current model (they changed lens coatings), but keep up just fine. Most people don't even see CA anyway.
