They don't have a model name, but
the part number seems to be 25-0823 and the fov is 365 ft @ 1000 yds.
These look like a small version of the toughened Audubon 8x30,
and they came out about the time of the ill-conceived "Spectator" line.
I have a pair that fell and cracked off the left strap cleat, but the
alignment is still perfect. Similar toughness to the old 7x25 'box' types.
Despite the bland naming,
these things are clear and have a very flat, sharp view.
The whole field shows at an eye relief of ~14mm, so I use them a lot
with the eyecups flipped down. Big improvement over most basic compacts.
They can be forgiven for some focus fade at 85-90%.
They show up regularly at the auctions and go cheap,
but they have totally displaced my Olympus8x21s in the glovebox.
The ease and speed bringing them to bear on target is the winning point.
I have 2 spare pairs. Great one-handed stuff, braced on the glasses,
and for museums. I wish they focused closer,but 8 ft isn't bad.
