Description
Swarovski STC Spotting Scope: a compact straight spotting scope, about 34.6 oz and 11.2 in long, with premium glass for hunting on the move.
With the eyepiece in line with the objective, the STC is the fastest Swarovski scope to get on target: spot an animal in your binoculars, raise the scope along the same line of sight and you are on it. The 17-40×56 optics are identical to the angled ATC.

Who is the STC for?
Hunters who glass from vehicles, glass downhill from ridges, or prefer to spot quickly between stalks.
Straight or angled?
The ATC (angled) is better for long seated sessions; the STC (straight) is better for speed and for use from a truck window.
How should you set up the Swarovski Optik STC 17-40×56 for glassing?
Set the tripod so the eyepiece sits at eye level when you are seated or standing comfortably; craning your neck ruins long sessions. Start at the lowest magnification to find animals, then zoom in only to judge them, because low power gives the brightest, widest and steadiest view. Focus on something at the same distance as your target, adjust the eyecup until the full image is visible without dark edges, and glass in a slow grid pattern from near to far. In heat shimmer, back the zoom off: a sharp image at 25x shows more than a wavy one at 60x.
