Alex here is a picture of the Red Stag my wife Janice shot in New Zealand with the 1.7x10 Swarovski I got from you.  One shot at 87 yards with her 270 win. Blaser done the job.
Thanks Again

Alex I thought I would send you a picture of the Tahr I took with the Blaser Success you got me in 7mm STW one shot at 332 yards.
Thanks Again.

Just returned from South Africa.  The Schmidt and Bender 4-16 TDS Classic scope and the Zeiss Binocular range finders I got from Eurooptic performed flawlessly and allowed me to take some awesome animals on this trip.  As always Alex, Job well done in supporting me with fantastic optics and great advice.

Dear Alex and Jason,

    The R8 performed very well week before last in Germany. I have attached a photo of it and its helper with a 5 point 4 year old Rehbuck. We were lucky enough to also get a 6 point 5 year old Rehbuck and one of the only four pigs I saw in a week.   By the way, Leica 10X32's and S & B 3-12 also products of Eurooptics.  Thanks for your help.

    Best regards,
Gene Wirwahn

The Alaskan winter countryside between Anchorage and Nome where the Iditarod  just finished 3 weeks ago is absolutely beautiful, and an areas that few men have traveled.  So if you have any interest in hunting the elusive Iditarod Grizzly Bear with Tom Gray in the springtime on snowmobiles or in late August/September on 4 wheelers please give him a call at 888-353-2473.

Alex,
The SAKO 85 .300 Win Mag was dialed in with the Z5 3.5-18X44 BT system. I took the 7X8 stag which scored 280 SCI at 550 yards the second longest kill shot ever taken on the property.

Thanks for a great rifle!
Greg Enos, Swarovski Optik

Herbert Sammut of Malta sent us some nice pictures of his most recent trip to South Africa. Herbert used his Sako Kodiak 375 H&H and a Swaro Z6 1-6x24.

My good friends Luis and Braulio Romero of Desert Hunt sent us this fabulous photo of one of their 2011 sheep harvests. Taken on the island of Tiburon this ram is what any sheep hunter dreams of.

"Hi Alex,
Sorry for the late reply.  Our internet services and power have been affected by the recent flooding in our home town of Brisbane in Australia. I have attached a really cool image of a farmer rounding up a few kangaroos that were trying to swim across his farm that was in flood. Kangaroos can swim quite well, but not for miles across the floodplains.  Roo’s are usually quite nervous of humans and stay right away from us. These are wild animals, not pets. They can bite, kick and scratch but are generally harmless but I think nature made an exemption in this case. The farmer is boating across the area he usually has his crops on and taking the Roos to higher ground where they will be safe. Thought you guys might be interested."

Geoff Baker

This ram was killed by Amy Pagliaro guided by her husband Geno Pagliaro in the kootneys of B.C. with a 270 wsm and with the help of your optics! Thank you Geno and Amy!

JJA van Staden shows off his 2010 cape buffalo.

This fabulous picture is of my long time friend Rodrigo Villarreal and his 2010 Alaskan Brown Bear. Nobody deserves a bear like this more than him.

Thanks to Alex at EuroOptic for giving me the confidence I needed with the best scope I have ever seen. I look forward to many more hunts using this outstanding system.

Alex,
The Trijicon was INVALUABLE on my hunt. (see attached)
Best,

Alex,
Sept 13 Alaska. 1 arrow. 40 yard crash & burn. Hell of a lot of hard work next 10 hours. Worth it. Thanks for your help in selecting my optics.

I was hunting the big bush of Alberta for Whitetail with Wolf-Creek Outfitters when this huge Wolf showed himself on the cutline. Thanks Alex for the great service, price and selection of optics. Mark Frazier

John Kiley said that Lion hunting was not on the agenda for his last trip to Africa. What a nice surprise it must have been

Along the way you meet some really good guys. Adolfo Gutierrez is one of them. Photographed with a beautiful lion from a recent trip.

Gordon Rockefeller sent us this great photo of a resent archery deer taken in Kansas. Gordon reports that after 22 trips to Alberta, Kansas is where its at.

Anel Blaauw of Capetown is all smiles with her Blesbuck.

Alex, I wanted to thank you for the Blaser rifle that you sold me last March. It worked flawlessly and contributed to a very memorable trip. I shot two elephants; the first a brain shot at 17 paces, the next a heart shot at 20 paces as well as a cape buffalo at 30 paces. All shots were off hand. Thank you very much for all of your help!

Scott Ashbrook took the first bear that he saw during his Alaska hunt at 08:30 AM the first morning. I guess this is where the saying "Some guys have all the luck" comes from.

Jack Sissoyev put his new Swarovski Z5 Ballistic Turret Riflescope to work on day 9 of his 2009 sheep hunt.

Our good friend Per Norvall of Hammarstrand Sweden sent us this once in a lifetime photo with his 2009 Lynx.

GT Nunn of Frontier Outfitting sent us our first Ram for 2009. I have known GT for some time and if you want a quality western United states hunt give him a call at (505) 350-9775.

Alex, This is the antelope I bagged with the left handed Robar at 600 yards with the Nightforce you sold me. Awesome! Dave Perfetti

Tim Odum was lucky enough to hunt the White Mountain Apache Reservation and kind enough to send our first bull photo of the year.

Jason Campbell is at it again. Look at this big boy.

Thanks again for the great service, pricing and trust that you have always shown me. Trevor Green

Jack Sissoyev hunted the Caprivi Strip and found this bull on his very first stalk. Jack wrote “ My dad used to say a good hunt does not have to be a long hunt, so I made the decision to put the Blaser double that you sent me to good use”

Hello Alex, thank you for all of your help over the years. This ram is a Caspian Urial taken by my brother Mousa Momeni in the north central Alborz mountains in Iran. Your friend, Eisa Momeni

Alex, I used my Leica Geovids that I bought from you last fall to glass this buck. I harvested him at 502 yards thanks to the Leica range finder. Thanks again for an excellent product and service, Mike Steward

Alex, I thought that you might like to see the handy work of a 5x25 Schmidt & Bender. I shot this bull with my GA Precision built Surgeon action .308 at 740 meters with a 155 grain Lapua Scenar. All of the optics that I purchased from you pulled this hunt together. The 5x25 PMII is the best long range rifle scope on the planet, I would put it up against anything on the market today. That scope returns to zero everytime, I have never missed a shot because of the scopes mechanics, when I miss it is either environmental factors or because of something I did wrong. Owen

Tim Luczak wrote: If you are planning the hunt of a lifetime use the best optics. Alex your products have been with me on all of my hunts without fail. Euro optics is the premier optic supplier in the country and provides the best service, the best price and the best optics period, settle for nothing less. Thank You!

Mike Steward sent us this cool shot from the Sonoran desert.

David Gainer of Nordheim Texas sent us dozens of pictures from recent hunts. This great picture is with one of his Zimbabwe Buffalo.

Hi Alex, Thanks for the rings and bases, had a good result after using them to fit my Zeiss Diavari to my new Sako Bavarian in 6.5x55SE Beaven Davidson
The Blaser R8 got a real work out hunting in between the worst storms for years on the North Island of New Zealand . But I got to take this great Sambar Stag known as the Bongo of the South Pacific regardless. On the only clear day we had. Regards Chris Bilkey Visit Chis at his Track and Trails web site.
Alex, Thought you may be interested in how the Sako Black Bear and Sako Kodiak performed. I hunted last week in South Africa with PH Stephan Van der Merwe of Bushmans Quiver using a Sako 85 Black Bear in 8x57IS (with a ) and a Sako Kodiak in 375H&H (with a Swarovski Z6). As usual handloading and a good rifle help clean one shot kills. I was using Impala bullets in the 8mm and Barnes TSX in the 375! Thanks for all the help, Herbert......MALTA
Alex, Thought you may be interested in how the Vortex Razor that I purchased from you performed. I received my new Surgeon Scalpel 300 WM on August 31st and took this 13 ½” antelope at 550 yards in Northeastern New Mexico on September 6th. The shot was taken in a full value 15mph crosswind at an elevation of 5128, the temperature was 59 degrees with a density altitude of 7430. The bullet was a 185 gr. Berger VLD with 74.5 grs. of RL-22. Optics are a Vortex Razor HP 5-20. Overall review, the rifle, optics and bullet all preformed perfectly; one deadly combination. Jim Hanks
Hope you are doing well. All of the gear I have bought from you is outstanding and just to prove the point see the attached picture of a tur I was lucky enough to hunt in Azerbaijan with a Swarovski Balistic Turret Scope at 450m. Thanks again, Jonathan Moodie
Good morning Alex: I just wanted to let you know I received the replacement battery covers you sent for my scope. Thank you for providing these so promptly. I have attached a couple of pictures from my safari in Zambia and Botswana in August. The first animal taken with my new .458 Lott and the Schmidt Bender scope I bought from you. The elephant went 70 X 59 lbs. Thanks again for your great service. Best regards,Ken Tompson
Here is the first buck to hit the ground for us during the 2011 season. This awesome buck was killed by Mark Warrington of Califonia. The triple droptine buck grosses 226 5/8ths and was taken on the third evening of the Arizona Strip Archery hunt. Enjoy.......Matt Shimberg Visit Matt at his Hunt Arizona Strip web site.
Alex, Here are a couple of photos of my Arctic tundra caribou (8/27). Great trip, driving up the Haul Road, flying out into the vast tundra country, enjoying the silence and the caribou. First animal with the Blaser R8. Richard Bower
Our good friend Tony Ruggeri sent us this great picture. Visit Tony at Trophy Seekers.
My good friend and Alaskan guide Jim Hodge sent us this picture of himself and client Bob Peot. Visit Jimmy at Hodge's Outfitters.

"My bear Pic for your site. I couldn't have gotten this big boy without your help and the Blaser." - Tom Wilson
During the 2011 Arizona Strip13B hunt I had the great pleasure of hunting with with John Holbrook of Yuma Arizona. After 7 days of pounding the country we finally caught up with the buck we were after. John made a stellar 360 yard downhill shot in a tense situation to take this unreal buck. After a addition error was corrected on the score sheet the deer gross scores 239 6/8ths" with a 221 frame. His left G4 was only 4.4" and had he matched side to side he would have grossed right at 260" as a 5x5 with only one inch of eyeguard. He was aptly nicknamed"-Matt Schimberg

Well here is the second giant that we killed on the Strip this year. One shot at 165 yards was all it took to harvest the great old deer. His heavy antlers grossed 230" on the button with about 3 inches broken off. 34 wide 9x8.-Matt Schimberg

162 2/8"...Killed him at 10 yards on November 15th. Thanks for all of the great equipment you've got for me-Tony

David and I show our Marco Polos at 16,000 feet above sea level. Very difficult to breath. The shots.....735 and 816 yards with our Blaser rifless and Nightforce scopes! Saludos! -Rodrigo Villarreal
Thank you for your friendship all of these years. Congratulations on your Mid Asian Ibex from Kyrgysztan. See you at SCI. -Alex
This is the ram my wife shot on opening day. AZFG net scored him a tick above 155. Your advice on the Kowa Highlanders allowed us to find this ram one week before the hunt from 4.25 miles according to the map. Denton Ross
This is the White Tail Deer that my son Luis Carlos Bortoni got this week at my ranch, all of this was possible thanks to the quality of the optics that you send me- Luis Carlos Venado
The MARS4 Night Vision I got from you is awesome. The first night out at 1:30 AM I killed this 450 LB boar hog in Ruffin SC. He is strictly nocturnal, I had seen him on my game cam eating all my corn. Thanks for all the help. -Mark Odum
