I picked up a new pair of Zeiss Terra binos for myself today since I've been a good boy all year.  Never owned a quality pair of glass. :IBCOOL:
OR BOW
when you're as good as me you don't need a quality bow.  I just simply get it done better than most with less bow.

Wait a minite - you bought yourself a new pair of binos because you've been a "good boy" all year?  So you've been good for four days!

Ha ha!  Just kidding.  Congrats on your new binos.  You'll love them for sure.

i know they arent zeiss or swaros but i have steiners, they are amazing for the price, they gather light in the worst conditions and seem to be pretty much bullet proof  :chuckle: i have used a few pairs of the higher end binos and there just wasnt enough differance to spend the extra cash, having said that i did look through a buddies 2500.00 dollar swaros and holy sheet, they are awesome  :tup: but i will never have that kind of extra coin, well not until the kids move out  :chuckle:, congrats on the new toy, a mans gotta love buying gifts, especially when they are for themselves  :tup: :chuckle:

My wife has Zeiss and they are clearer then any other binos in our hunting group.  I have Steiners that were a few hundred dollars more then her Zeiss and hers are still clearer.   One bonus is that they aint made in China.

D Rock, what'd they cost? if you dont mind me asking. Been thinking of picking up the Cabelas Euro HD's as I cant tell the difference between them and a pair a Swaro's, and theyre 60% cheaper. The down side to the Euros is the weight though.

I was in the same boat and ended up with vortex razor hd. I looked at them and leica side by side and couldn't tell a difference. Didn't compare with swaro because I knew I would have to have them... lol. The razor hd are very light. Compared to most.
I'm curious on the cost for the zeiss as well. My vortex were 1200. I wish they had 12x50s when I bought but all they had were 10x42. So I got a spotter later.

You should've spent your money on a more masculine firearm instead.   :twocents:

Give that 7mm-08 to your daughter.

Your old ones could've been replaced by a thick drinking glass.
