What a bunch of fusspots! LOL I have one for stand hunting 7X50 Stein NH, one for open country 10X50 Stein NH, one for the truck 12X40 Stein Pred and one for stalking 10X25 Swar. I have bought a few before this and gave or sold them off. I never found one pair to do it all really well from dawn to dusk to long distance. I really like the Steiners (obviously because of optical quality) because they focus once and there is no screwing around to focus when there is very little light.
MDM it will be really interesting to hear what you have to say after you use them in all conditions. Please let me know.
Ok just for hi-jacking this thread and talking about your prefered brand of optics I will sayhow I truly feel....LOL!
There is a reason why your Steiner optics are built with 50mm diameter tube. They need all the help they can get to gather light like a quality 42mm optic does. HA! Take that!
I will let you know how they work in bad weather. We have a good storm coming this weekend. Snow level down to 500 feet.
