I have heard of this...Heck, I think I posted something here! Cannot seem to find it - does anyone know where I can g4t info on a com[any(ies) that make or made these? The one I remember is essentially a slip-fit lens on one end of the scope that increases magnification

I have the bushnell "elite" doubler. Its 2.5x. center is very sharp, edges not as. It works nicely to bump up mag of a good bino. Never used it on a scope. I'll try though. remember, crap quality to start with is only magnified. I got mine on ebay, price was attractive, under $50 shipped. this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bushnell-El...720?pt=Binocular&hash=item5ae5e37cc8Nice quality case, belt strap, solid constructionm. I think vortex or zen ray makes one too, their stuff is great so really worth a look. Shameless ad: I'm downsizing a lot of camping/hunting/fishing/hobby stuff soon, funding a renovation. Buy one of my binos full price and I'll toss the doubler in for free.

Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

I tried the Swaro. doubler on my 15X56 and did not like them at all.

No-no, this was to increase magnification on rifle scopes. Crap, I think they had an ad in Rifle magazine at one time.

I have seen a few of them before, total optical junk. spend your money on a better scope.

I've used them for specialized applications and they do work OK. Here's what you're looking for-- http://www.bulzeyepro.com/

sscoyote,
Do they require you to re-sight your impact point?

Ringman...the main reason i got the 2 i have is that the booster also cuts down eye relief somewhat which allows me to shoot a 3-12x Burris LER scope off a bipod using a center-grip handgun from prone at 12x without having to overextend my shooting arm--an issue with this optic.
I also have another on a Leup. 24x BR scope on an XP-100 that's been converted to LER. The booster again turns a long eye relief optic into an intermediate eye relief, and yes they do increase the image size somewhat [supposed to be a percentage, 20, 25 or 30%]. The booster magnifies EVERYTHING, magnification as well as any defects in the original optics optical quality. I have been satisfied with mine. But the focal length changes with their installation, such that the eyepiece may have to be screwed in or out [sometimes a lot] deopending on which booster you get.

They might have changed since I last tried one but the one I had was not very impressive. So I sent my Leupold 6.5x20 to Premier reticle and it came back a 14.5x35 with far better optic's than the doubler.
