I have a pair of Cabelas Alaskan Guide Series 10X42s that are 20 y/o. When I researched who made them, the best info I could get was that they were made buy a Japanese optics firm that contracted to build glass under different brand badging to whatever specs were designated.When I called Cabelas, the answers I got were very sketchy...I got the feeling that they were purposely being very vague.
The optics on that bino is incredibly good, btw. I also love that the focus is click adjustable. Others hate it.
I still pack them as backups to my premium glass.
