User CommentsI have one and it is a choice piece of equipment. Pros - excellent bino's, clear and sharp, work well in low light and hazy days. Range finder is accurate and works excellent except in rain or blowing snow conditions. On low light days it will pick up varmints laying in the snow, objective target is only the ears and face at 400 to 800 yards. Cons- heavy to carry. Batteries last a couple of years but cost about $17.00 US to replace. Range finder does not work in snowing, heavy rain or blowing snow or dust conditions. Roger in Minnesota.
