Well, I found this little gem at a thrift store for $2, and even though it was totally out of collimation I bought it anyway, just for yucks.
What a magnificent little critter! It took a big hit at some point in terms of collimation. It takes my eyes about 2-3 seconds to compensate for the miscollimation and about 3-4 seconds to recompensate when I put them down, but when everything is lined up, wow! Sharp as a tack. Contrast, not so much, but I didn't even bother to clean the lenses which were filthy. This thing must have rocked in its day (and when was that??). I'd buy one right now if Bushnell made one. Magnificent build quality.
It seems about half the size of the most recent 7x26 Custom Compact, which I have and which is a tubby little honker.
I think I'm going retro.
