I received the promaster ELX 8x42s almost before I hung up the phone, waited until Christmas Day to open, and then watched the mergansers work the edge of the ice and bald eagles patrol the river. Very nice sharpness and color rendition, especially compared to the other glass I had been using.
The Promasters are great gear. When you couple that with amazing prices and Cameraland service and support, it's a wonderful thing.

I called Doug at Cameraland and asked him if he could send me a Burris Signature scope in 3-12x44 with ballistic plex. I got it and decided it was not going to work on the gun I intended for it and called Doug to see about returning it for a different scope. They said it was a special order and had to check with Burris to see what there return policy was and this is what I was told. It would cost me a 25% restocking fee plus I had to pay to ship it back. A $450.00 dollar scope would cost me $112.00 to return it + shipping ( that sounds excessive to me)
Does anyone else have issues with Burris Customer Service?
The guys at camerland still have the best prices on the items they stock.

As Neil told you when he spoke to you...Sit tight and let him speak with me about it. I am out of the store today and will speak with the Burris rep on Monday.
I just ripped Neil an new azzhole for telling you anything without speaking with me first as there is no reason for you to pay a 25% restocking fee even though it was a special order item that you changed your mind about. Schitt, I'll take it back and post it as an open box item here in the classifieds before I'd let you pay that.
So, as Neil said...sit tight. I'll be back in the store Monday and I will speak with the rep.
BTW, 8164, I see this was your first post....Welcome to the forum

Just another example of why Doug is simply the best.
Doug, thanks for doing what you do!
Happy New Year!

Wow! this seems like an awesome deal for these binocs, i've been looking at the nikon monarchs, do you have ant idea on how this pair compares? also, any idea on weight. thanks
"Nikon 8x40 Binocular. I have no idea which model it is. It is made in Japan, is waterproof and has a 6.5* FOV. I know this because that's what printed on the rubber armor coating. No case, strap or caps only $69.99. Seems like a nice glass."

How it compares to what. it is a bit beefier that a Monarch, however, I think it is good if not better

What I would like to know is when are you going to get a demo on the new zeiss 85mm spotter with 20-75 zoom eyepiece.3150.00 everywhere seems kinda high to me.

If you can find a Pentax 8X28 DCF MP, I'll take it. A call to Neil confirmed you are out of those. But, you did have a Minox 8X25 - so I got that instead. Thanks.

Con Con, I'm not Doug, but yes they do. I've bought a few things from them and I'm about to fire another order in. Very good people to deal with.

Whatever you do, don't drink the coffee they put in the box, you'll be wired for 24 hours......
