Anton asked:

I prefer cross-hairs with reticle patterans for a range of up to 200-300 yards. Also I am looking for a good offensive .308 scope for 1/2 kilometer and further (ie sniper rifle)

With the scope I am also looking for a soft eye piece and lense covers that flip up or down so they would be attached to the scope.

Hi, I’m going on safari and want to buy some binoculars. Can anyone give me advice as I have not got a clue what to look for when purchasing them.

Thanks

8×15

first # = maginification
second # = brightness as measured by the exit lens in millimeters (not field of view, that is a seperate measurement)

magnification greater than 10 handheld isn’t going to help you because you can’t hold still enough. If you have the cash pick up some of canon’s image stabilizer binoculars. They have a gyroscope in them that cancells out moderate hand shake. Expensive, but worth it. This is the ONLY WAY to view far distances without a tripod.

Jhorzy asked:

I don’t want to spend a lot of money, preferable $75 or less for a second pair to keep in my truck just in case I need them. I think I want 8x optical but the second number (i.e. 32, 42, 50, etc) what does it do for you? I want something clear and good for low light situations, so do I want a higher or lower second number? Also I was considering the Bushnell 10×42 Permafocus. . . does anyone have any other recommendations? Thanks

Aldwin asked:

A long time ago i bought a pair of 8×30 military binocs that were made in west Germany, so its obviously pre 1990 or so. But the weird thing is that they are black, not the olive drab that most military models are? A friend said that they might be the pilots model, but I cant find them anywhere online. Does any body know what they are and what their value is?
