I could use some advise from someone who has used these.Are they worth the price, how is the glass,are they easy on the eyes and easy handleing.The best pair of binoculars i ever owned were and old pair of Bushnell 7x50 marine binoculars.

I don’t own that exact pair, but i own the victory RF10x45 which i am assuming are cery similar optically. Optics are outstanding. Mine have a very slight blue tinit, very slight, that really make the brightness pop. In low light they are amazing. I can make out game with them way before i can see them with my naked eyes.
The eyecups fit my face extemely well, they are very deep eye cups and i like that. Focus wheel is tight but smooth. Each barrel has its own diopter adjustment which i like. Did i meantion the optics are outstanding? I owned the older Leica RF and traded up to these. The Leica optics were amazing as well, the the zeiss range finder is much better. Optically you eon’t be disappointed. But you really should get a hold of a pair and make sure they fit your face, eyes, hands, etc. at this level of optics ergos should play a huge role in your choice. |

8x32 FL is a very nice bino, but if you are looking in that size range, I would start with Meopta Meostar 8x32 and Kowa Genesis 8x33. They offer a lot for the money.

I own the Meopta 8x32 and I do love them. But my complaint and this is a complaint with all the meopta binos, the eye cups are not long enough for me. When I pan left to right because I have to hold them out from my eyes slightly only the top of the eye piece touching my eye brow I get the dreaded little quick blackouts that happen. Annoying as heck. If I am still I can mostly keep them away, but it is an issue for me. That does not happen to me with my Zeiss because of the much longer eye cups. My cheap Sightron Blue Sky have deep eye cups as well and they fix that issue for me too.

Those were the sightrons we were using that day. The meoptas are a bit better optically |

Our host SWFA appears to be out of stock, but I googled them and found them in several places still in stock.
