gr8fuldoug Report post Posted April 25 Binoculars & Spotting Scopes You May Not Know About There's some great optics that do not get the exposure as others. The manufacturer doesn't do a ton of marketing and perhaps this is why you may be missing out. We thought we'd take the time to clue you in on some outstanding optics that are worth taking the time to familiarize yourself with. In no particular order....... Burris Signature HD 15x56mm Binocular - This high quality binocular is only $799.99 and is made in Japan. 15X MAGNIFICATION - Bring distant objects closer than ever.

RUGGED CONSTRUCTION - Built to withstand the toughest environments with a shockproof body and durable rubber armor. WEATHERPROOF - Nitrogen-filled for reliability in all conditions. TRIPOD ADAPTER MOUNT - Achieve steady observations of fine details. COMFORTABLE DESIGN - No-slip texturing, a cushy neoprene neck strap, and metal eyecups for eye relief adjustment. Hawke Endurance ED 20-60x68 Spotting Scope - Priced way less than you'd expect from the features and quality (add to cart to see special pricing).
