I was really impressed with these. was in my local sporting goods store when I first saw these, they were retailing for about 129$. Which was way too much for what I planned to use them for. I just needed this for recreational uses, hiking, shooting and the like. Went home and did a little research and these definitely fit my needs. when I got them I was surprised by the quality of them. they are really clear and easy to set up. are these the best binocs on the market? prob not but they are good quality for novice users.
