Cabelas has definitely went downhill on everything but possibly the reloading section at our local store.
Virtually all optics come with a lifetime warranty so they really put themselves at a disadvantage with the house brands. There used to be some quality optics now it’s Chicom junk

You ever check out the Steiner 15x HX? Curious about different big eye options?

Not that specific one, no. There are lots of very good 15x options out there.

Better than my last three Swarovski experiences...


Dayom. Sorry to hear that. Well, back to dreaming of something else. Probably just stick to my old 8x30 Zeiss BGAs or the less expensive Zeiss 15x pair that doesnt do well at dusk.

Figure I will hunt big bucks no more forever, well, seriously anyway but it's still fun to be out there looking. Havent seen a near booner in a few years and just need a WT doe or two. I dont care to shoot a buck and not mount it and dont know what I'll do with the mounts I've got.

Always wanted a pr of the fine glass, though. Glad you reported on the Swaros and that after JG reported on those in a scope.

It's a weird feeling after eating, sleeping, dreaming, planning, and scheming for bucks for 65 or so years.
