[QUOTE="regularjoe, post: 536715, member: 33806"] When I moved to Idaho 20 years ago, I bought the best glass I could afford at the time.... Pentax. A few years and a pay raise later I bought a pair of Swarovski's. Wow what a difference. That made a believer out of me! Now fast forward to 2011...spring bear hunt. I am bragging to my friend about the phenominal binocs I have (still using the same pair... hard core every year on hundreds of hunts). So I tell my friend as we are glassing a distant black bear in the Frank Church Wilderness that is about 800 yards out that their is no substitute for European high-end glass... We trade binocs. His are the Alaskan Guide series from cabella's... I have to admit I was impressed. Not near the obvious difference I had noticed years ago. Now would his still be in service a hundred mule rides and hours and hours of dripping snow, rain desert sun........ I have my doubts. opticly though they were very good. BTW, I paid in 1994, $750.00 for the Swaro's and They are more than double that now but I may be using them for another 20 years, God willing! [/QUOTE]
