Years ago I followed the hype and bought the Chinese made Zen Ray binoculars. They were very good and I bought more and talked friends into buying them. EVERY single one eventually had to be returned for collimation until they went out of business and we now all have paperweights. I’m...
I got the 27 and really liked it, but I eventually put the variable back on for the extra reach and left it on. If you used the scope a lot you might find it worthwhile, for very occasional use I think you probably wouldn't.
I have the Swaros and before buying them I compared them inside Sportsman’s for quite a while. I thought the Swaros were a little better, but not by much. I also believe the Meoptas are likely more durable. I just bought Meopta 12X50’s and love them.
I got a Bell and Carlson stock and a Limbsaver for my Tikka 300WM and it made it bearable. The extra weight and wider recoil pad helped a lot. Still got weary of it after a few years and rebarreled it into a 6.5 PRC. A brake obviously helps more, but I'd like to keep the hearing I still have.
Get your dealer to turn them down, if you can't. Use them at a lower volume and gradually increase it as you get used to them. Crumpling a sheet of paper can be pretty annoying for a while.
When you first get hearing aids you have to get used to them because you’re hearing sounds you haven’t heard in a long time and sounds that you may not want to hear at all. You also need to plan on going back to the dealer to tweak them so they sound right to you. As said, it is not going to...
As a former hearing aid dealer I can tell you that I would never get a rechargeable because it's going to go out when you need it most and you can't do anything about it. Batteries do the same thing, but then you pop a new one in, and they're cheap. I can get several days out of a battery. As...
I use both and can't say that I have a preference either way. The RRS is especially nice if you don't have or don't want the stud on your bins and it's adaptable to almost everything.
I had the same problem even after cutting with a fine toothed reciprocal saw and rinsing them. I now filet the shank and cut it into chunks. Hard to describe how awful it is to bite into a tiny bone.
I don't know if this has been posted but it certainly deserves at least an asterisk on their warranty (the italics are mine);

Just got the eyepiece and, though not yet verified, I'm sure it's genuine. There's a sticker on the box that basically says that it's grey market and "may not be eligible for manufacturer warranty." At least they're up front about that. It's raining and windy here so a real test will have to...
I'm about 90% sure it's a fake based on the pics and the comparison to current lenses. It will be interesting one way or another, but maybe not as interesting if I can't get a refund.
I've hired guides in Costa Rica and Mexico and always seemed to get them on a day when there were uncommonly few (none) fish. I can almost guarantee you'll be disappointed, but according to the guides, my experience was rare.
I just compared the pics to those from the Swaro website, and you are correct - it does not look the same. I tried to cancel the order but it's on its way so I guess I'll see it in person. I could live with gray market, not a fake.
I just ordered a 25-50 off Amazon for $559, which is cheaper than I've seen it anywhere. It's odd, in that it is listed as a 20-50, but the order shows 25-50. May be some catch, but it's supposed to be delivered Tuesday so I'll know by then...
