Does anyone here happen to know the eye relief figures for the following binoculars?

Cabela's Alaskan Guide 8x42

Cabela's Alaskan Guide 10x42

Leica Duovid 8 - 12x42

Leica Geovid BRF 8x42

Leica Geovid BRF 10x42

Thank you for your help.
 
I found these:

Leica Duovid 8/12x42 - 14.5 mm/14.3 mm
Leica Geovid BRF 8x42 - 19.3 mm
Leica Geovid BRF 10x42 - 19.3 mm

...but I am not completely sure about their accuracy.

lucznik,

I have no idea on the eye relief numbers for the Alaskan Guides. Your best bet in that case, since Cabelas won't release the manufacturer info, is to send an email to their customer service. They should have the unadvertised specs on file somewhere.

Sorry I could not help more. For what it is worth the 10x42 Alaskan Guides seemed to have a fair amount of eye relief for a 10x bin...at least 15 or 16 mm. I had a pair last September but took them back as I could not get used to the click stop focus adjustment. Other than that I thought they were excellent optically and mechanically.
