Sorry, not the scope. I have the binocs. The 12X50 and the 12X28 or something like that. The smaller pair just doesn't open far enough apart to fit my eyes. Hard to look through for long periods of time. I haven't tried the 12X50's in the field yet.

I have run across only one person that has owned one in the past 5 years or so. He liked it very much and at the time it was priced less then a Leupold VAri-x II. They are manufactured somewhere in the orient for CAbelas and are probably well made. I am sure Cabelas will do well with the warranty as well. Personally if your not happy with Leupold or their prices you need to check into Nikon and especially their Monarch line. I don't think for dollar value that anything out there can touch them.

Deffinately a good buy for the buck. I used a lot of them, in various sizes and magnifications, and compared to other brands in the same general price range, they were just as good as the rest. Plus you have a lifetime warr, without any questions asked.
