It would be great if Swaro made an eyepiece with a reticle for their spotting scopes.

Maybe tried Vortex razor 30x eyepiece. I bought is for my ZEN ED2 spotting scope. It is interchangeable with Zen-Ray spotting scope body. From what I read, Razor, Zen-Ray and Swarovski eyepieces are all interchangeable.

Make sure you can return the eyepiece if it doesn't work out. Just because the bayonet mount is the same on all 3 scopes does not mean the reticle will subtend properly.
If it does subtend correctly, that would be huge.

The Vortex 30x reticle eyepiece fits the Swarovski ATS/STS ATM//STM scope bodies, and the subtentions are correct. I've been using the Vortex 30x reticle eyepiece on my STS 65mm body for over a year. Optically, it leaves a little on the table compared to the Swarovski eyepiece, but works well enough to spot hits/misses at distances over 1000 yards.
I don't know what you are trying to do. You can see trikes by using the Swar eyepiece, why do you need a reticle?
I shoot LONG ranges with two Swarovski 65s strapped together as binocs or Big Eyes. The target should be in the middle of the scope and if you can't see hits somewhere on the scope, you have the wrong weapon!

You must not shoot LONG ranges in hatteras. I'm in KDH.
Any idea whether the eyepiece fits on the old AT80s?

Interested. Can you post some pics?
Man, you just saved my Swarovski!, I was ready to dump it in favor of a spotter I can use to call corrections.
Jay:
I have one on order and will let you know if I have the same issue.

Kilmer,
Does Vortex reticle eyepiece mention F- number?
Also, could not find Razor 85mm spotter focal length from specs, eyepiece f could be calculated with it.
Reticle Eyepiece for Swaro Spotting Scopes.
Well I've gone shooting with it, and the MOA markings line up with my targets that have 1" squares when I was shooting at 100 and 470 yards. The only thing I miss was the ability to zoom in once in a while, I would have to change to the higher mag eyepiece.
What I really like is how easy it is to focus the reticle on the target.. And of course calling corrections!

Vortex eyepiece arrived today and fit fine in the Swaro once I removed the O ring from the eyepiece. With the O ring in place it was too tight and wouldn't lock. I'll take to the range this weekend and check the sub tensions.
Used the scope today with the Vortex MOA reticle. Worked great and the subtensions were spot on at 100 yards.
Actually the hunting is better here than most think…especially the Piping Plover.
Are you in the extreme long range world?
Hehe Ive never ate plover but I am not scared to run over a couple next time I am on the beach.
Extreme long range? eh not really. I do have a place to shoot 2000-3000 yds in Hyde County when the mirage isnt bad.
