excellent piece of equipment
I've been using this product in the mountains and deserts of afghanistan for the past 6 months where I ride atv's 8hrs a day banging these optics around and other than some dirt getting into the outside armour coating its as good as new. I've used this product to make reasonable accurate ranging on humans out to 2000m.
Pros: tough, smaller than other models, clear glass
Cons: price
Great Product
Small, rugged and great looking pair of binoculars. Made in Germany.
Pros: Nice looking and great optics
Cons: none

In researching this product before purchasing, I found very few customer reviews, and none of them were very detailed, so I hope the following will help someone else who may interested in this binocular.
I purchased this binocular primarily for use in the military, to practice adjusting indirect fire, some spotting, and for practice with range estimation.
I have also used them for nature observation and some casual birding. In the future I may also use them for concerts, sporting events, etc., to complement to my other binoculars (7x43 with ED glass) when I want a little extra magnification. I chose the Tactical 10x42 R model mainly because of the reticle, the design, optical quality, and its reasonable size and weight compared to Steiners porro prism military binoculars.
I tested my two binoculars side by side over a couple of weeks in the mountains of Utah. One day I might stay inside and watch birds at the feeder (I got to see a variety of smaller birds; sparrows, and jays; quite a number of turkeys and even a quail), and another day I might take the four-wheeler up the trail and hike to the top of a hill to look at the whole canyon. It was early Spring so I got to observe in snowy forested terrain sometimes as well as dry shrubby hills.

This binocular comes in a nice black case with a soft separator to keep them from rattling around inside, and there is a little extra room for accessories like a tripod adapter and some clean...
