Tough durable and good optics... we wan't it all. I would rather have durable and good resolution than the best resolution and fragile, especially if they won't warranty them anymore.

I think of bino's as a long term item. Maybe I am out dated in todays disposable society..... I am feeling like a damn dinosaur


I completely agree on taking good and durable/warranty vs. best but no warranty and told to pound sand if there’s a problem.

Quality glass is a big investment for me. I can’t afford to be shelling $1000+ on glass only to need to replace or spend a big chunk on repairs. If optics can’t handle field use then no matter how good the glass they’re of no use to me.
