Doug, How do you think the Minox MD 62 compares to the vortex viper hd 15x45x65? I am on the fence and that is a great price on the minox. Thanks.

The Vortex HD is better than the non ED Minox

Say,Doug.......i posted a response saturday but i see it's lost in space somewhere so here i go again.
When i ordered the Vortex 8x32 Fury's,you said i would be impressed.
Upon receiving them (within 3 days) i noticed how bright and clear they appeared to be. But i wanted to play around with them for awhile before deciding how good they are.
I tested them in murky pre-dawn hours looking to the east (glare),during the mirage generating heat of the day,under dark threatening skies and at the end of the day into the last few minutes before darkness envelopes the day.
They performed incredibly! Their resolution and clarity is way beyond what i would expect for a 8x32. And their light gathering ability is simply astonishing for a small 32mm binocular.
The only minus i encountered was that the diopter adj tit was easy to accidently move but since i am now aware of that it is not an issue.
The focus wheel moves very smoothly and small movements make precise and immediate image changes. I used the same gloves (roping gloves and fleece) that i wear while calling and had no issues. I have fairly large hands and they rode comfortably.
Next to me is a section that has a water trough that is 1,087 yds from me. At 0530 i watched 2 coyotes take sips before bedding down to evade the day's heat. Then there was the kit fox at around 400 yds in tall dead grass with only its head and tail visible.
I stepped outside one evening to .......well,while out i saw a faint glow on the far horizon. I grabbed the Fury's and my 10x42 Swaro's to confirm my fear of a lightning-caused grass fire. The 8x32 Fury's could easy display the red of the fire......the Swaro's picked out the flickering hot spots.
You were so correct........I am very impressed. For what i wanted in a small,light-weight bino for calling coyotes i received way beyond what i expected.
Thank you.

Now,how was the fishing trip?
And which one of the 3 guys in the enclosed photo is you?

Glad we are on the same page with those Vortex'

Fishing was great..... link to follow up

I'm in the red shirt on the post card

Will there be a new thread with the specials? This one seems to be dating back to May and I can't seem to find the items mentioned. I just got on the market for new optics...

We'll be working on a labor lay sale very shortly. Some items from this current sale and some new additions too.

Nice! I will keep my eyes open. Four guns need new glass!
Thanks,
-P

Are there any Stainless Conquest scopes left?

What size are you looking for?

3-9 or 4.5-14. #20 reticle or #4

Good morning Doug and everybody,
I have bought several Zeiss Scopes and other stuff, both Diavari and Conquest (from you). However I think Zeiss is falling behind with their scopes magnification range... vs Swarovski Z6 and now Bushnell......

I am Zeiss big fan but I got interested on the Bushnell 6500 4.5-30x50mm. 30mm scope

But want to know how far is it from the Zeiss Scopes in terms of optical quality, low light performance and accuracy?????

Is it worth it or it�d be better to stay at least on the Conquest Line

I need a new scope for a new sporting rifle proyect.. shooting over 500 yds. Maybe will hunt with it as well......

IMO, Zeiss optics are far superior to Bushnell optics

Doug-When are you posting the labor day sale? I'm in the need of a scope, and will be out of town for some of the weekend(no internet).
