    Athlon Introduces Midas G2 UHD Pro 12x50 Reticle Binocular

    Wish Athlon would introduce a Cronus G2 UHD 12x50.

    Binos compared. GPO, Athlon, Kowa, Ziess, Vortex

    Athlon Cronus are an excellent glass at their price point. I recently tested them out for a couple weeks. Warning - the push-button diopter lock on them is funky. I haven't looked at the Maven C-series in the 10x42, but the 12x50s are very good. I'd be happy with either of those, and I would...

    12x50 Burris/Maven/Leupold Bino Review

    Thought I would post a little bit of a review of the subject brand binos in 12x50 since I have just done some amateur comparisons with them at home and in the field. If you're an optics geek, then you can probably stop reading here, because I am not, and this review probably won't be...

    <$350 Binos

    Athlon. I recently did a test and release on Amazon on the Cronus G2 UHD 10x42s. I don't think you will do better in the $350 price range. I think they are on sale at a lot of places for $400 right now. Might be able to get them for $350 if you check with a Rokslide sponsor like @gr8fuldoug...

    Please help w/ Elk boots

    OP, I feel ya, man. Over the years I have owned 6 different brands of boots. They all gave me blisters on my heels, including the Kenetrek Mountain Extremes that I currently wear. Like you, the Lowa Renegades fit me the best, but not perfect. For me, it is not so much a wide foot, but a very...

    Steiner Predator vs. Leupold BX-4

    Curious on these because I can't find much on rokslide about Steiner binos for some reason. Sportoptics.com has an insanely good deal going on right now for Leupold BX-4s, so I could get a pair of MIJ Leupold 10x50 BX-4s for sub $470 (yes, you read that right). . . or I get a discount on MIG...

    Burris Signature HD binoculars

    I asked customer service at Burris Optics, and FWIW, the Signature HD binos are made in China.

    Burris Signature HD binoculars

    @gr8fuldoug knows his stuff. Do you know if Burris Signature HDs are MIC or MIJ?

    Burris Signature HD binoculars

    How do you guys know these are made in China? The only thing I could find on them was an answer in an Optics Planet thread that said they were made in Japan.

    Bino Harness- what are you taking?

    AGC KISS: 1) not bulky 2) very easily adjustable for differing weather/clothing 3) found it on sale at Black Ovis for $40-50 less than most of these other harnesses sell for.

    Another One: Kowa vs. Leupold

    Ok, looking at a couple of 12x's, here. The Kowa BD 12 x 56mm vs. the Leupold BX-4 Pro Guide in 12 x 50mm. Lots of guys rave about the BX-4s on here. Lots of others rave about Kowa's spotters. What about their Binos? I can get the Kowa's for about $50 cheaper than the Leupolds. I am not...

    Looking for some caliber advice for elk

    I always heard (or prolly read on the interwebs) the rule of thumb was at least 1500 ft-lbs at point of impact.

    MT - backcountry rifle

    You maybe right. "Much experience" is relative. I have packed out four elk, all 4-6 miles back, all deboned in the field, all with a buddy. Quite a few guys on here have packed out triple that many (or more). I don't think the question was unreasonable, unless it was against the posting...
