    Baader Hyperion Mark IV Zoom & Pentax PF-65ED Spotting Scope ?

    I thought about trying this EP but looks like I will let the Pentax go since I picked up a new scope. This is an email I received from Baader about the fit with Pentax 65. Seems that it should work. We could not test it with every spotting scope on the market, but if you use the included...

    Gift Help

    I purchased 2 pairs of the 6x30 Savanna for Christmas presents after looking at Frank D's. 1 pair is for my 7 year old daughter and I think they are perfect for a young child. Nice view, priced right, and think the build quality was great. Much nicer than the similar priced Leupold Yosemite.

    Nikon Monarch 7 versus Vortex Viper HD

    I purchased both of these in 8x at Cabelas and took them home for a week for a try out. They are very similar in many ways. I ended up returning the Vipers since the M7s were less $$$$ and had a wider field of view. Just got back from hunting elk in CO and was impressed with my them.

    NEW nikon monarch 7

    Well my company has plants in both countries and I have been to both of them a few times each. My opinion is if cost is the same (which its not) I would rather have something built in Japan.

    NEW nikon monarch 7

    Its tough for me to throw a number on edge sharpness. It actually confuses me when people put values on the edge size since I always want to center the object and not look through an edge. To me if the center is large enough to view my object then its big enough. With that said I would say...

    NEW nikon monarch 7

    Well the Nikon's arrived this morning. Took them out at lunch along with the Viper HDs both in 8x. I have been using Monarch 10x40 since about 2000 which I thought were decent except for the diopter does not lock and is loose so it moves all the time when putting the binocs in and out of the...

    NEW nikon monarch 7

    I was at Cabelas in Hamburg the week before Frank and they had the 8x and 10x in stock. It was packed so didn't bother to look at them. The 8x was out of stock online when Frank posted but in a few days they had limited stock online so I ordered a pair of 8x. Will be delivered tomorrow...

    MEOPTA 10x42 HD highest honor of “Editors Choice”

    I just was looking at the 10x42 HD on CameraLand website and see they are listed at 27oz but the Cabelas twin is like 31oz. Wonder why the difference or if they are both true to their listed weight?

    Cabelas Outfitter Series 10x42 ?????

    If they were 8x I would get them ASAP especially with Cabelas return policy. I find that I can't hold 10x steady enough or at least I think its a problem. Plus I just bought a ED50 with the 27X wide for long range viewing. BUT I am not sold the problem on the binocs is 10X and my shakes maybe...

    Cabelas Outfitter Series 10x42 ?????

    Ok Thanks. I will be interested in what you have to say about them. The sales guy that waited on my seemed to be pushing them as the best they had in the $500 range. Of course he did tell me they had a lifetime warranty but when I checked when I got home it was only 10 years. A little off...

    Cabelas Outfitter Series 10x42 ?????

    Anybody look through their "new" Outfitter Series made by Steiner? They have HD glass. I went to Cabelas and thought I was going to leave with a pair of Vortex Viper HD in 8x42 but in the end couldn't make up my mind. I have an old pair of Monarchs in 10x42 that I don't care for any more. I...
