    New Viper HD's

    Correct. I do want to say. Country of origin is often a good indicator of quality. I will also say there are some pretty decent optics that do come out of China. And some complete junk that comes out of the Philippines. It all comes down to how the optics are spec'd out and how the quality...

    Swarovski EL 10X32

    I concur 100%. I have had great enjoyment out of the 10x32's. Again for wooded areas I will take my 8x32's. Never experienced issues with low light. They are ultra comfortable and not obtrusive in any way.

    Swarovski 8x25 CL-P case problems

    I spoke to our Swarovski rep today. He said they may have been different in the past but have made no changes in the last few years. He is very happy to help if you have any issues. I'd be happy to get you both together if you need help.

    Review by 'SportOptics' on item 'Victory SF 8X42'

    Likes: The Victory SF's are a pleasure to use. Clear, crisp, images with bright vibrant colors across the entire wide field of view. The ergonomic and naturally pointing open bridge design combined with the anti-slip texture and balancing makes the SF's a pleasure to handle and even seem lighter...

    Review by 'SportOptics' on item 'MeoStar S2 82 HD'

    This scope is great! The clarity is superb, bright colors, sharp and clear edge to edge. The 30-60X WA eyepiece offers a very wide field of view. Works great digiscoping. We took pictures of a hawk at 100 yards when very over cast (about to rain) pictures came out great. Comparing with...
