thanks guys. I got them in the mail the other day and tried them out. I can tell you right now I wasn't pleased but thats why they were 50 bucks. I have decided to send them back and im looking at a pair of nikon action binoculars. There above my price range but thats fine. They have a excellent rating and a lot of positive reviews on them. Im not a fan of ordering online but I dont have a cabelas any where close to me and I'd rather stick with a cabelas store since ive had such good luck with them in the past.
