    A Valid Bino Review

    Gun Test magazine (guntest.com) has completed their review of 10x42 binos. The interesting part of their reviews is the fact that they have no advertising in their publication and they purchase anything that they do a review on.

    Big Binos

    Is anyone familiar with the 16-40x80 Swift binos? I am considering these as a replacement for a spotting scope. I am not very familiar with Swift products. I get the impression that they are of mid-level quality, this is based on looking solely at their prices. I am guessing that they are...

    Mid-Priced Roofs

    I am new to this forum and the whole birder thing. My past experience with optics has primarily been as a hunter. I have read all of the previous post and a couple of things stand out to me. When it comes to top of the line optics, hunters and birders seem to be on the same page for the most...
