Why don't the major sporting goods stores stock any high-end Zeiss binoculars?

[QUOTE="OPTIC_NUT, post: 3164214, member: 121951"] That does have a strong effect on stores. The WalMart in north Reading, Mass has 3 fairly crummy too-high-powered models of binoculars and dropped even the Aculon line recently. Meanwhile, in Oxford Maine (some tourists and many many hunters), the WalMart has about 40 models of binoculars, the Nikon ProStaff 7s sells like hotcakes, and they have Monarch 5 and Monarch 7 pairs and a various Leupolds and Vortex. Not exactly Zeiss, but it does show how big the influence of common sport and hunting is. The Kittery Trading Post, in the South of Maine, carries the top end of both Swarovski and Zeiss. They also have hundreds of new and used rifles. They only have a few crummy spotting scopes, so it's all about the hunt. [/QUOTE]
