Not my problem. And, yes, I was/am serious, but I'm not paying a premium just for a "privilege" of owning "your" bins.

So, yeah, I was serious, for a legit price. Given that you aren't serious, keep them... even though your far less expensive Nikon's "beat" them.... <laughing>

Texas	Originally Posted by Ringman JGRaider, Last year one of my son-in-law's hunting buddies was using a Wiunchester window mounted spotting scope. He was trying to judge a proghorn, but couldn'[t quite see it clearly. My son-in-law told him to try the Nikons. Of course the fellow argured with him, but finally tried them. He could imediately see the proghorn. One of the other fellows wanted to try them. He was very favorably impressed. So when I read these type of posts,I think, These folks are speaking from ignorance or they got a bad one like the first Bushnell 6500 I bought. As far as window mounts go, I have one. I made a mounting system to use my 12-42X56 NightForce. I have yet to look through any scope as nice as it is. I think the nearest is a Minox 62mm spoting scope. I don't remember what model, but it was barely sharper than my Bushnell when both were on 30X. Must have been a sorry excuse for a spotter. I can assure you that if you put that NF scope up next to a Kowa/Swaro/Pentax/Nikon/Vortex Razor/Zeiss spotter in the 80-85mm class it will pale in comparison to the spotter, even with a window mount, every single time. It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Would Ringman's used bin be covered by the Minox warranty? $600.00 doesn't seem way off the charts to me if the warranty covers the new owner and they are in mint condition, otherwise I'd go with the demo as we know it's going to be like new.

Prwlr Campfire Outfitter Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 10,258 Colorado Springs, CO	Originally Posted by remington I don't know I havent looked around much......less say $200 or less. Is there a set at that price point to be had that would be decent? I hunt with some Monarchs and if I can find something even remotely close as far as quality but more power I'll be happy. don't care about weight at all. "Talk to Doug" +1, also may take a look at the 12X50 Vortex Diamondback at $260 it is just outside your budget but the DBs had very favorable reviews here on the fire when they were first offered.

The only way to use big eyes. But if someone wnats them without it, I will gladly remove it. "Only Christ is the fullness of God's revelation." Everyday Hunter
