Sounds like your dad had the newer Elites. The original were 43mm objectives. Both 10x and 8x were excellent bins, with smaller FOV’s compared to alphas of their day and likely no ED glass.
mine is one of the original designs 8x43 with open bridge design ala Swaro EL’s. Model no 624208.

The best binocular tests on the net. The comprehensive database of binoculars with their parameters and users opinions. Interesting articles and comparisons.

That's a little gem of an advert you found.
"Bushnell only made these for a few years".
Except, of course, Bushnell never made anything themselves. And Googling Bushnell XRT to find out more about this "revolutionary technology" finds nothing at all.
"Yikes!" Indeed

Given the price, I thought the seller might have been masrif, but there was no "Stunning View Out" in the description.Hi Brock,

No, Bushnell didn't make them, just branded them, but the latest Bushnell Elite EDs are made in Japan like the SFL, so I would assume these were too.
Perhaps the reason they are priced $1900 above original retail price is that they come from "a pet and smoke-free household."

Your pets clearly think you spend too much time with your binos and don't pay enough attention to your pets!
