From what I've read, Brunton has been around for a while, mainly known for their compasses and GPSes.

Looking at their binocular lines, it looks like they source their manufacturing from the same overseas suppliers as Vortex and Zen-Ray. So my first assumption is that they are mostly imported, mid-range quality, and probably a decent value. Their higher end lines are a little pricey, but at that point you usually get what you pay for.

I've been seeing this more and more lately. The big names in optics are becoming less and less relevant as more companies are offering a good product, good warranties, and competitive prices. Six months ago nobody knew who Bresser was, now we're having trouble keeping the Everest binoculars in stock because they're so popular.

I'll check out more on Brunton and see if I can find out more details.
