These are the "big brother" to the 8x30's 338rcm offered on 12/05...
[quote=338rcm]This is a very high quality made(in Japan) copy of the very popular Zeiss Safari binocular.These feature individual eye focus, multi coated optics and very heavy rubber armor.These have seen little use. Binocular and case only.
$175 shipped

Zeiss,Nikon and Swift all offered these in 8x30's but this celestron is the only one I have come across in a 10x40 with the same features...Individual focus eyepieces,very heavily rubber armoured,wide angle and waterproof. I would have said this bino is bulletproof if it werent for the fact that one of the ears that hold the neck strap is missing, hence the neckstrap has been strung through the center bridge.(Since these are not a center focus, doesnt interfere)
Would make a great hunting bino considering the features...gives a nice view to boot ! $165 shipped & Insured

THIS IS NOT THE SAME BINOCULAR PICTURED...when I copied and pasted 338rcm's quote, i got more then i bargained for ! Mine have the flared bell on the end (40mm vs the stright 30mm tube)otherwise they look pretty much identical...apologize in advance for the confusion
