First off Outdoor Legacy and crew are extremely knowledgeable and kind, they are the best in the Business. The binoculars are light and the picture is breath taking. Just 4 buttons to use and I especially like the focus wheel and zoom wheel. The zoom even on 16x is still clear on animals. Range finder is super. You can look through these for long periods of time without any fatigue. It has base magnification of 1.5-12 or 2-16. I'm blown away about how far I can identify warm blooded critters at 2x base magnification. Also, you can stabilize the binocular if you want to zoom all the way up and study the image or if you may have shaky hands. The only two complaints are the end cap could be a better design, and the external battery compartment takes a bit of pull to release the seal to open it up. Other than that, they are super. I have the Pulsar XT Mergers also, they have a very soft beautiful image, and the screen seems to be larger, but they seem much heavier and lots of buttons and no wheels. The price is good for so much value. You will not be disappointed on your purchase. Thank you Outdoor Legacy y'all are the best. May God Bless America.
