Message: <blockquote data-quote="Steve C" data-source="post: 3343710" data-attributes="member: 56622">Some time ago, I was contacted by a dealer acquaintance of mine, his business is Optics Camp (oddly enough <a href="http://opticscamp.com/" target="_blank">http://opticscamp.com/</a>).  Brad asked me if I had ever heard about Stryka.  Bill is spot on in his pronunciation by the way.  This is evidently a Nordic word for strength.  Anyway, he was interested in getting me a set for review.  So far that has not happened.  Various reasons, mostly including some nagging physical issues I have nearly behind me now.  At any rate his comments on the binoculars pretty much mirror what Bill has said about the Stryka.So this is a place that has stock if anyone is interested.  They are supposed to be unveiling an S9 series high end glass.  What high end is I don't know.I wholeheartedly agree with Bill's comments about not caring much how what compares to what.I can not disclose much, but they are not from Kamakura, eliminating the Maven clone observation.The only thing I tend to wonder about is that the mantra..."we are getting really close to unleashing a major advertising campaign..etc" is the same now as it was some months ago.</blockquote>
