Recently took this rogue 8x25 to africa for a hunt. great compact set, however..... - Leupold BX-1 Rogue 8x25mm Compact Binocular

So. I've owned this bino for couple years now. I'm coming back for a review. I have loved using these for whitetail hunting in KY but our range is limited here.. My son and I last week got back from an African hunt. My son used this set and I used a voretex 10x32 bino. This leupold rogue is a little bit more clear than the voretex. TheVoretex is made in China and the leupold is made in Phillipines,(According to the stickers). HOWEVER, about 3 days into the hunt and after a long stalk on a Gemsbok, my boy pointed out that the eyepiece was missing!!. Not the main body eyepiece, but the extension that is used if you don't wear eyeglasses. Anyhow, I'm sending it back today for a repair or replace. So far the return process has been a simple online return form. We shall see how long they take. Also, I don't care for the factory strap. Do yourself a favor and find two of the small key rings, feed them through the loops on side of binos, then make yourself a paracord strap that works better.. My boy used a voretex chest strap and worked for him, but I prefer side sling carry on my binos while hunting. I would definitely buy this handy pair again and not let the broken eyepiece stop a future purchase.
