Title: cabelas alaskan guide 12x50 binoculars
Post by: Hunting7mm on December 04, 2011, 12:57:31 PM: I've been using Nikon Monarch 12x42 binoculars for a few years and really liked them but my hunting partner purchased a pair of cabelas alaskan guide 12x50s and I have to say they are a great pair of glasses, So much so I plan on buying a pair to replace my Nikons. Anyone else have any opinions on the cabelas alaskan guides?
Thanks
