Thanks to everyone for the information on my last post. Unfortunately I live in a very rural area and access to used binoculars is non existent. The DDoptics Binoculars Pirschler 15x56 Gen. 3 is a little more than I was originally thinking, but doable. Any thoughts/experiences with these? Their website say they have a 30 year warranty. My experience with warranties depend on how "friendly" their terms are. Some make it so difficult you can never get anything covered. Thanks in advance.
