I had a pair of Leupold WindRiver 8x30 which i took out and used in a downpour one time. I called them, they said send them in. I did so, in which no questions asked...they sent me back a pair of Leupold WindRiver 10x42. They even paid for my shipping. I've had these now for the last 4 years and love them!

I always thought the same thing but one deer season I had the sun go down on me on last afternoon of the last day of the season. I was sure it was a buck but was trying to make sure he was a legal buck. The lowlight conditions and lack of quality optics made it impossible for me to be sure. Darkness came while I held a bead on the sweet spot of the buck that was only 70 yards away. It lasted over 10 minutes. I looked through the scope and the binos alternately I don't know how many times. The problem with my cheapies were that they really stunk in lowlight condtions and ultimately cost me a deer that season. Not just a deer, the only deer of that season. I went out the next weekend and bought better stuff resolved to never experience that again. In february while I was hog hunting, it was still pretty dark and I could see two does playing on the edge of a field over 500 yards away with the new Leupolds. I love my Windrivers. I know that I can trust them in low light...same with my Eagle Eye Optics scope. That evening years ago still makes me sick. I hope you don't experience that.

Not sure who made mine but they have a Whitetails Unlimited ensignia.
10x 50 Wide Angle Long Eye Relief 342 feet at 1000 yards. They're el-cheapos, but they do the trick so far.

Vortex has some great optics at an outstanding price.
I have some 10x50 Vultures on sale right now on my website. 10x50 and 8.5x50. They are the coyote (tan) color. Have some color blemishes on them. Normally over $249 shipped. Selling for $160 shipped with a free lens pen. Sold over 30 pairs in the last month or so. Hard to beat and still has a lifetime warranty, no matter who owns them. Let me know if you have questions or how I can help. I am new to this site, but I have an outstanding reputation on other arhcery websites. I won't steer you wrong. Ron |

A little set of compact Bushnell 7X-15X does the job for me for all I use and set during the season. Use them for everything turkey, deer and moose.
