Burris Fullfield II 10x42

From Gary in Iowa:I recently purchased a Burris Fullfield II 10 x 42 binocular for Christmas. The compact size is just right for the kinds of outdoor activities that I like to do. The clarity of these binoculars is extremely good ; better than any other binoculars that I have had. I am quite satisfied with my purchase and am looking forward to having them with me for hunting and sporting events.

Brunton Eterna 8x45

The optical quality of these binoculars is excellent compared to other glass with a similar price. However, I am on my second pair and about to send it back to Brunton. The first pair had sharp edges around the attachment points for the neck sling and wore through the attaching cord, which caused a damaging fall to the ground. The damage incurred was covered by the Brunton warranty and they provided excellent service which satisfied me beyond expectation. Unfortunately, the replacement pair

Bushnell Stealthview 5x42 Night Vision Monocular

From Karen in Washington:It is lightweight and easy to handle with a cord you can put around your neck so you can not drop it. What a wow when I press the IR button in the pitch black night. It is amazing to see so much in total darkness without anyone able to see you.I have night vision goggles that need some light to see since they do not have IR. This monocular is so much better.Click here for more Bushnell monoculars.

Steiner Wildlife Pro 10.5x28

From Mark in California:Own a set of Steiner Merlins and love them. I wanted a set of smaller glasses and these looked about right. When I received them they were exactly the quality I had expected from Steiner. They turned out to be a little small for my face. Let a buddy try them and he bought them from me on the spot. Great glasses..... just didn't fit me.Click here for more Steiner binoculars.

Manfrotto o55 XB tripod

From Mark in Pennsylvania:This is a big, solid, reliable, and extremely well-made tripod. The leg locks are the best I've seen: smooth and secure. It should be tall enough for anyone, even using a straight spotting scope. I'm 5'9" and with an angled scope I don't extend the center post at all, and don't even fully extend the legs. It is BIG. With a head on it, it is also LONG, but (for me at least) not too heavy to carry around. Of course, it is no trekking/backpacking tripod--far from it--but

Atlas Optics Intrepid ED

From Ted in Virginia:For the money I could not have done better, and I have to thank the staff at Eagle for recommending this purchase. I read complaints on the focus wheel being to slow, for me it is precise since I can read serial numbers on nameplates at a safe distance, say nothing of my fascination with birds. Every detail is clear from edge to edge, an old pair of 10x25 are permanently assigned to be battered up on a four wheeler. I have used them in foul weather with no adverse effects.

Bushnell Elite 20-60x80

From Steven in New York:I just purchased the Bushnell Elite 20-60x80mm Angled Spotting Scope. I needed a good clear scope for birding but couldn't afford to spend thousands of dollars on one. This scope is fantastic! It has the ED Glass lenses, a nice, smooth zoom 20-60x eyepiece, and a view-thru case. I find this scope to be more than adequate for my purposes. It is extremely crisp and clear, even at 60x. The zoom and focus knobs operate smoothly and easily, unlike some less expensive scopes
