Here is a set of Alpen Apex binoculars in 8x42. The glass is decent, I would compare to Vortex Vipers, I believe they were made in same factory. I have used these binos a couple seasons, they are well used. I can’t see any scratches on the lenses. Alpen is out of business, so the manufacturer’s original “no-fault” warranty is worthless. These would be a good entry level binocular.
I often used them off a tripod with a Vortex Unimount. Even though these are only 8x, I found benefit from tripod mounting. I will include the Vortex uni-mount with these bins.
The chest harness is a Horn Hunter. The flap closure is with a magnet. A magnet also secures the rangefinder to the side of the harness (range finder not included). I have used this harness a couple seasons as well. My only complaint is the lower webbing is elastic and seems to loosen up. If I were to keep them I would change out the webbing maybe. I have hand washed the harness in the past (~year ago or so). The harness shows use of many miles and days in the field, but is perfectly functional. I have used the harness and binos backpack hunting in California and Alaska.
I’ll ship binos, uni-adapter and harness to you in a USPS flat Reason for selling is that I upgraded to 12x50s.
12x50s.
