Available in 10x32 also (same price)

It's a great deal on a non Chinese made binocular

I ordered a set to clean out my paypal balance. These were made in the Philippines, and the vendor on the eBay link is Adorama.
They seem to have great reviews, so I got a pair to keep in the car.

They’re $154.27 on Amazon now, about what I paid last Fall using some points. Nice little bino.

My wife and I tested them. She was pretty impressed, and we generally use alfa glass.
That said, we have a low end Leupold set I bought my daughter for hiking in college. We keep set that in the kitchen. So kitchen view made for an easy comparison.
The Leupolds are 10x42 Arcadia (I think). Anyway the Sightrons have better resolution at about 125 yards. It was sharper to look at cherry buds, and weeds at that distance.
I'll have to compare them to my wife's ancient Swarovski 8x20. From memory I think the image in the sightron is comparable, if not better. Again 20mm vs 32 mm, so a lot more glass area in the Sightrons.
So for 105 delivered with tax, it is a good set to keep in the car. If they are 99 again, I'll probably get a couple. Personally I don't like 10X, so I'll only get the 8X.

Good times. I ordered 2 of these to keep in the cars. Anyway, today I get a eBay email with a tracking number for a third. Funny but I have not logged onto eBay since the second order in February.
Never had an auto order before.

I checked my ebay account directly, and I never placed the order, and it did not exist on my account. My last log in was over a month ago. So it was a fishing scam to get my log in. The email was very impressive, and a clone to ebay documents. Dickheadd scammers.
So be careful with this scam.

Bought one at $99, then saw the reduced price of $79. Bought another. Those were the 10x32. I bought an 8x32 a few years back at $169. Even at the higher price, the binocular was a bargain. Light weight, phase coated and very clear. eBay listed and Adorama fulfilled.
