GreyGhost85 Report post Posted June 30, 2015 rumor has it, there is a guy in prescott with a machine shop that is savvy with the whole process and will make you an adapter to turn any two matching spotters into a pair of "big eyes". Kevin Passamore was talking about it on his recent podcast with jay scott. i think he gave contact info at the end of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STOMP442 Report post Posted June 30, 2015 No need to break the bank these work amazingly well and pack up nice. These have never left me wanting for more power and the optical clarity is amazing. They can be found online for around $1300 of you look around. http://www.steiner-optics.com/binoculars/military/m2080-military-20x80 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost85 Report post Posted June 30, 2015 the idea behind "big eyes" is to get that big magnification (30X+) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Becker Report post Posted June 30, 2015 There are a couple outfits making the brackets commercially. Euro-optics is one of them for the big spotters. My friend and I made our own. Feel free to PM me if you are really serious about this route and I will give you some more detailed info. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azbow Report post Posted July 1, 2015 How do you get the power set exactly the same on both scopes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Becker Report post Posted July 2, 2015 You can use fixed eye pieces/or you zoom one up to whatever power you want and then bring the other one up until your eyes settle out. Pretty simple and easier than you would think. Your eyes will tell you right off when they are the same! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azbow Report post Posted July 3, 2015 What advantage do you get by having 2 scopes? I can look through my scope for hours with one eye and never get a headache. I also can look around side to side or up and down without having to move around so much to keep squared up behind binoculars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't remember all the details but in essence, studies show that the brain recognizes 30% more detail when both eyes receive the same image. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
