Hello All,
I started this thread as I was preparing to order a new pair of 8x bins, and I wanted the best optics I could find. I've been following it along and have been enjoying the read. I still haven't had an opportunity to look through a pair of 8x56 FL's or for that matter the 8x56 SLC's, now I have two to put on my must see list. As this thread evolved I did manage to find time to order and receive a new pair of Swarovision 8.5x42's at the same time I also ordered a pair of 8.5x50 Vortex Viper's for my son. I hope to have an opportunity this weekend for my son and I to take these in the field and run them throuh their paces. I doubt I'll run into anyone sporting either an FL or SLC 8x56 this weekend, if I do I'll have to turn and walk away rather than risk trying either pair. For at least six months my budget relies on ignorance being bliss with respect to which 8x bin provides the best view :t:
