The first bino I received was severely out of collimation right out of the box which was very disappointing, the packaging didn’t look damaged but if they were dropped during shipping that could have caused it. There was really no way to know but thankfully it was an easy process to return them and get a replacement. Since I live in Washington State, on the other side of the country, it took a couple of weeks to get the replacement. Was it worth the wait? Absolutely!!! These are great and not just for the money. The color, clarity and sharpness make these a pleasure to use without eye fatigue. The long range at which you can see with detail is impressive. I can say that these are more effective at identifying objects/animals only at 10 power than a similar priced spotting scope at 20-30 power. As a result, I have to have the Cronus g2 spotting scope. So far all the great reviews about these are spot on and aren’t just a bunch of hype. Finding products that punch way above their price are rare. If you need a nice bino there’s no harm in trying them, If you don’t like them they’re easy to return but I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised how good they are!

It seems well made and adjustments run smooth. Remains clear and sharp between 15x - to about 30x, beyond that it seems to lose sharpness. The fixed 22x reticle eye piece with this scope is a great combo and is worth it just for that if you spend a lot of time at the range. Since I probably won’t use the fixed reticle eye piece as much as the other I’ve decided to exchange for the Cronus which isn’t much more than the Ares and it’s two eye pieces.
