Message: <blockquote data-quote="ceasar" data-source="post: 3425640" data-attributes="member: 26155">Lee,It never occurred to me to look into the construction of my Victory 7x42 FL when I decided to buy it.  I figured that if it was good enough for Jerry Liquori to use for his Hawk Watching it was good enough for me.  He wrote about using it in his "HAWKS At A Distance" which was published in 2011.  The FL replaced his 7x45 Night Owl which "had an unmatched field of view"  which he had used from 1994 till 2008.  He stated that he believed the new FL offered the finest image available.Earlier today I was sitting on my deck using it and my Leica 7x42 Trinovid BN and frankly I do not think that anyone can use them and determine that the FL has no metal in its construction.I can only conclude that "the market" is an idiot!:-OBob</blockquote>
