Jason Venture 4000 7x25
I took them out today before committing them to 'on hold' status. There is a big thaw going on and the birds were going crazy looking for bugs before it chills again... bluejays, woodpeckers, titmice, warblers, nuthatch, chickadees, crows checking it all out. I got quite a workout at short... -

Epilogue: The diopter adjustment is too loose and shifts in the case. I need to acquire quality thick grease in order to work this one. The gun/choke stuff is too light. Meanwhile, some Nikon NASCAR 8x25s (a bit like Sportstar or Trailblazer) with repaired... -

This model was made to be a Bushnell Custom clone (or a me-too), with premium UVC coatings and BAK4 prisms, field-flattening in the eyepiece, and deep irising. I took delivery on an interesting pair yesterday, and did a nicotine cleaning, a light WD40 grease cut on the objectives, and went...
