It looks like you have the full lineup. Do you have a connection with Vortex?

No, Still in "Wisconsin", just not the same one i grew up in
I simply decided to rename it, after some of its new owners, so to speak.

No connection with eo/vortex, other than having a couple of their products.

I really did`nt mean "best" as ultimate optically, I`ll try again.

This binocular must be available as much as is practical to the global market. A realistic price with some commitment on the part of the purchaser.

I was thinking of a binocular that would work from Siberia to Sumatra, and carry on working for a lifetime.

A binocular for the developed and developing world whose inhabitants may find themselves through their economic growth, with the spare time and income to partake of leisure activities that we take for granted.

It cannot be Swaro, Leica, Zeiss et al, they`re too expensive.

I guess I meant "best", as the "peoples" binocular.

Really Nikon and Bushnell are the only OEMs that have a global presence now and a long history. Given most Japanese brands had a tough time selling to the world after the war, I would bet a Bushnell Elite has been the "best" binocular in history.
