$1600 retail, 31.8 oz., HCD (angle comp), tripod adaptable, and scan mode.

Matt and I weren't too impressed with the glass in these. The rangefinder function seems decent.

Probably compares to the bushnell RF bino?

Prominar 55 with fluorite crystal objective. Specs aren't finalized but will have 15-45 eyepiece.

I'd also be interested in the Kowa. The specs I've seen are conflicting. 50mm or 55mm?

Does that use the same eye piece as the 77 and 88mm or is it different ?

Judging by the range I assume different.

Does it have pure fluorite like the 88?

Different. They are still finalizing the eyepiece design.

The eyepiece will not be removable.

The objective will use a crystal element, like the 88.

Any idea if we'll be able to get one before the fall hunting season.

Ronb,

I would say it's going to be 55mm as all their other scopes have the first two numbers as the objective size and the last number represents either angled (3) or straight (4).

Interesting to say the least.
