[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1525309, member: 12443"] I had a set of the Oberwerks for quite a long time. Mine were the turret model with 25x and 40x eyepieces, with 100 mm objectives, and had been (tuned up) by the late Kevin Kuhne after I bought them. They weren't actually the best quality glasses ive owned but they were my favorite to use, and much of that credit would revolve around the tripod and Kevins fine work. The 40s were awesome which is very unusual for that much power in the east. You could actually glass with them if the distance was far enough like over 1000. But it got to the point I could no longer lift them onto the tripod due to lack of arm strength brought on by age. Ive also had the pleasure of owning several sets of very large ww2 military glasses like 20x120s which no doubt were better quality, but not as good for (what we do) as the Oberwerks I had. Im not advocating just running out and buying a set mind you, just relating my experience with the set I had. Without sounding like im bragging I hope, our camp yard is as good as it gets in PA for evaluating glasses at distances from 400 to about 3500 yds. Weve spent many many hours there evaluating glass of pretty much every description. I can tell you one thing for sure, the old cliché that states that on a very good day they are all good, but on a very bad day, none are any good is absolutely in fact true. So buy what you can afford and enjoy them. [/QUOTE]
