    Take look at these, includes money back guarantee if not satisfied.
    Whats the eye relief like with these?
    Do I have to smush then into my eyeballs like the Yukon spotting scope, or are they a little more comfortable than that? I wasn't disappointed with the spotting scopes optics so I hope the binos are as good
    Could be quite keen in a few days

    I purchased a pair of Leica Tripod 10X42 in 1995 they have seen their share of use. Cant remember the exact price but it was around $3000 I think. Couldn't really afford them and got into a bit of strife from her indoors.
    Sent then off to Lackland 5 weeks ago to get focus fixed they forward them onto Leica in Germany.
    I now have them back and the Binos were repaired and FULLY refurbished at N/C. They look just like a brand new pair.
    I now think the original purchase price was well worth it.
    I suggest you buy the best quality glasses from an established manufacturer who has a proven reputation of supporting their products and customers.

    The Yukon Futurus 8x40 have good eye relief, nice clear edge to edge image, rubber armoured aluminium chassis makes them pretty tough. I'll give a set to VietnamCam to take a look at on the forum hunt if he is keen, then you won't need to take my word for it.

    We also give a 15% discount to forum members, and a 10 day satisfaction money back guarentee. What more do I need to do?...
