I have a pair of Pentax 10X42's waterproof that I no longer use due to loss of vision in my right eye. Willing to sell them as I now use a mono. If interested, make me an offer I can't refuse. Damn, getting old sucks.

If you're not in a terrible rush, the best value is buying a used from ebay, Swarovski or Zeiss with transferable warranty.

I regret not buying the Kahles from CDNN when they had them. Your right on the Leupolds. They where good for the price as a knock around pair. The Terras I looked through looked like the 5 dollar ones tourists buy. They must have been damaged because no way they could be that bad.

Kahles makes super scopes but their Binos IMHO are very good but not Alpha

for my money the meopta/ cabelas euro are my choice.

i have the older non HD and really like them.

keep an eye on cabelas and every so often the have huge sales on the cabelas branded stuff and snag a pair of binos.

There binos where dirt cheap though. They also had a Leupold Gold Ring Bino for 300 bucks when they where getting out of Binos entirely. Then they brought back binos recently. For the money even if the Kahles weren't Alpha they would still be a great knock around pair.

Avoid Swaro like the plague? Oh man, that's rich.

"I read an article once where swaros were used in alaska and they fogged up."

I wonder how many times we've read this exact same response before. Probably hundreds.

If I can make time to get to it, I'll try to make that happen.
