Is there any known reputable place to contact to have them repaired? I'm sure they have far more sentimental than real value but the build quality and the lovely optics make it seem a shame to toss them when what seems a simple fix-it would attend to it. I'd greatly appreciate any assistance on this TIA Charlie Dr.WtS Mysteries of the Cosmos Unlocked available by subscription

Think I'll send them to Suddarth for a quote, so that I might get them back before hunting season, either way. SRH May God bless America and those who defend her.

Worthy high performance replacement would be Nikon Monarch 7 8x42 at about $450.

Worthy high performance replacement would be Nikon Monarch 7 8x42 at about $450. This is proof that you can't trust the opinions of internet experts who don't even own the crap they recommend. I bought a pair of Nikon Monarch 8 x 42's based upon reviews. The optics were not as sharp or bright as a pair of 1960's vintage Sans & Streiffe 7 x 35 that were out of collimation. They also had a tiny little "Made in China" tag. I sent them back... overpriced junk. Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug

Consumer complains importer replaces them with a brand new pair. Next order Chinese factory asks how many returns, adjust the over ship rate to suit the return rate. No quality control no repair facility. Best advise if purchasing Chinese glass, look through the Binoculars before you buy & buy from established reliable importers. Not a joke, this is exactly how it works. Boats Last edited by Boats; 05/28/18 06:34 AM.
