I have two pair of Stiener Military and Marine 8X30's and they're great. My first pair I got 17 years ago and they have stood up to moose hunting in the summer/fall(now), boating, hunting in the sub arctic winter and eight kids. I had to get another pair for the front of the boat. The glass is crystal clear and the old pair hasn't loosened up, extremely good value, however, don't spill bug dope on them or the rubber armor coat will start to melt.

When we moose hunt we'll go untill its dark. Last night, comming home, we spotted a monster cow and her calf(dark and darker). We were watching them untill it got dark. The sun had already set and we could pick out the colors of brown and black on her rump, watch her ears, no antlers, against the background brown grasses, and greens and browns of the willows behind them, easily. The closest we got was about 200yds/m as we drifted past in my boat.
