[QUOTE="Kevin Purcell, post: 1315331, member: 68323"] People interested in Russian bins may find this link (which is a collection of brief specs and photos for [LIST] [*]KOMZ (Kazansky optical-mechanical plant, Kazan, Russia) Trademark BAIGISH and FOTON. [*]ZOMZ (Zagorsky optical-mechanical plant, Sergiev-Posa, Russia (was Zagorsk, USSR. Trademark KRONOS. [*]Beltex Optic (Lida, Belarus). Trademark YUKON.

Note that some of these bins e.g. FOTON 7x35 are made in China. I've seen them advertised by their Chinese OEMs for sale to resellers. It seems that these companies are now building stuff more to "regular" Western spec than previous designs (e.g. the FOTON's are geting more difficult to find ... perhaps that's why their licensed to the Chinese). So ksbird are those Tento roof prisms really 7 oz as you mentioned on another thread? Or was that a typo for 17oz (which seems more reasonable)? Newcon-optik.com now make (or have the Chinese make? One of their 8x30 bins looks like a United Optics bin) M22-oid bins for military or government use though do do sell civilian models without laser filters and reticules. I suspect these aren't Russian bins. [url]http://www.newcon-optik.com/regular_optics.html[/url] Where do people buy their Russian bins? They all seem either too expensive or shady dealers or both ;) [/QUOTE]
