Seen some great right ups on the Alpen scopes and wondered have you tried them and what do you think??

I had a pair of their binoculars several years ago. I think they were the 8x25 compacts. These were some good binoculars, especially for compacts. I sometimes wish I still had them but I needed something that would let me see better in early morn and late evening. I don't think you will go wrong with them. I understand that their warranty service is very good too.
