    Leupold Gold Ring HD 8x32 versus SV 8x32

    I don't think Annabeth is talking about that. It is common knowledge here on Bird Forum among older members that the Gold Ring has top shelf optics. What she means is Dennis's manipulation of his thread to help resell a binocular at a profit which he had no intention of keeping. For...

    Leupold Gold Ring HD 8x32 versus SV 8x32

    It had high ratings in the Allbinos review and ratings (which were cited by Dennis) of the top 8x32 binoculars. But their ratings are 3 years old dating from 2011 and the only reason the Nikon 8x32 SE came in third at that time is because it lost points for not being waterproof and was not...

    Leupold Gold Ring HD 8x32 versus SV 8x32

    I notice that Kahles is mentioned in the link you supplied. Kahles has a history of off and on association with Swarovski. I don't know about their rifle scopes but their binoculars are made in Japan. You may have noticed that the single word "Austria" is on the face of the Focus Wheel of...

    Leupold Gold Ring HD 8x32 versus SV 8x32

    Whoa there Dennis! You are back to your old tricks! Samandag said that he saw Hoya boxes in the dumpster! Not Hoya Glass; which would imply that it was being thrown away! Read it here again: http://www.birdforum.net/showpost.php?p=3097720&postcount=67

    Leupold Gold Ring HD 8x32 versus SV 8x32

    Thanks for posting that picture of the Blind Cap on the hinge cover. I've never seen a Meopta binocular. I wonder if Cabela's in house version they sell under their own name also says that? BTW, the blind cap on the front hinge of my classically German Leica 8x42 Ultravid Blackline says it is...

    Leupold Gold Ring HD 8x32 versus SV 8x32

    http://www.meoptasportsoptics.com/us/ Meopta, a Czech manufacturer of optics, has a plant in Hauppauge, Long Island, New York where they employ many people. Cabelas sells binoculars under its own brand name which are made by Meopta. They look like Meoptas and have similar prices. Does...

    Leupold Gold Ring HD 8x32 versus SV 8x32

    http://www.leupold.com/about-us/leupold-living-history/ This very interesting "Living History" of Leupold in pictures is basically an advertisement for Leupold and some of the information given in it requires more explanation and documentation if it is to be considered a proper history. For...
