Dagoden,
I had the same question.
I went to Cameraland and they told me they were junk.
They recommended the Minox 15x56. They have them for $700 new or a Demo model for $550.
I looked thru them and the new Ziess Conquest 15x56 out on the side walk.
The a Zeiss were brighter and I noticed the mirage right away went back to the Minox and saw the mirage once I was looking for it.
Seems like a decent binocular for the price and I am thinking hard about it as $1,000 or more in my pocket seems to make the most sense and I only do 1 or 2 western hunts a year.
Almost forgot they are having a 10% off all items but new Swarovski & Leica's while the boss is gone sale.
You mention the sale on phone orders and they take the discount off.
