Norteno Report post Posted August 8, 2019 Passing along a killer deal on Amazon right now. I really want to buy these but have better places to spend my money right now. These are $1300+ glass. Alpen is out of business but was bought by Explorer Scientific who still honor their No Fault Warranty. I’ve seen these beat out Razor and Conquests in reviews. They drop $10-$25 a day and are now at $440 with 2 pairs left. If if anyone buys them I’d like to look through them one day.

GTIMANiac Report post Posted August 8, 2019 Glad to see they were bought and warranties will be honored. I have a pair of Alpen 12x50s I've had for 12-13 years and they're as clear if not clearer than my Vortex Viper HDs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Azooutdoors Report post Posted August 10, 2019 I have a pair of their HD 10X25s and they’re great. Not quit as good as the Leica compacts but better then the Swaro’s. If I hadn’t bought the 12X50 ELs on here earlier this week I’d own them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KBarter Report post Posted August 10, 2019 Paid $386 and now the price is $444. I guess if nothing sells it goes down 20 bucks and it one sells it goes back up. Was 406 yesterday. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted August 14, 2019 I had a pair of Alpen years ago. One of my first pair of tripod mounted binos. They were surprisingly good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You got a smoking deal! Appreciate the heads-up on these. My daughter will use them off a tripod and they will be my "little glass." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
