Hi

Optically, I'd give an edge to the 7x26 Custom Compact (now the Elite Custom Compact) 62076, though it is not waterproof, according to the techs at Bushnell. This one's been around for a long time and has always been a favorite of mine in a comnpact porro. We will get it added to the website, soon. If you want the waterproof feature, though, your only option is the still very good Prostaff.

thanks, do you know how long it will take to add to the list, i have looked at the bushnell website it seems a bit vague on the spec ( elite custom ) eg angle of view, xtr coating, water resistant etc, i guess its going to be very close to the old custom compact, thanks, marcus.

Hi

Not going to be much difference, no. Basically an upgrade in anem, only. Can't say for sure when, but we will get it added.
