Title: Barska binos.......really?
Post by: couesbitten on March 26, 2012, 08:26:32 AM: Was reading an article about Obama in South Korea, and noticed that he was looking through a pair of Barska binos. To me it's sad that when the President needed a pair of binos, someone handed him those.

I know I wouldn't hand him my Leicas or my Swarovskis (if I owned any).

Heck I wouldn't even loan him the Vortex or Pentax binos I do own.

:yeah: Exactly, I wouldn't hand him my Leicas either, but I can't beleive that when the President is coming through, that someone doesn't have a better pair of binos available.

Post by: Steve C on March 26, 2012, 05:03:16 PM: I tend to wonder if BO's defense cuts have reduced the military to buying Barska's. What in the world is a binocular like that doing on the lines anyway? :dunno:

Oh...Nope...I remember now...It's George Bush's fault. Yeah, that's it!
