Staff Picks
Vortex Viper HD 20-60 x 85mm
$1,000 Regular / $899.99 Member
For high performance at a mid range price, it’s hard to beat the Vortex Viper HD. High Definition glass with dielectric prism coatings reduce reflective glare and color aberrations while delivering a clear, bright, sharp image. The angled body design allows for a lower mounting position, resulting in a more stable, ergonomic viewing experience, and permits the use of smaller, lighter tripods. The built in sunshade reduces glare, and protects the lens from rain or snow in even the worst environmental conditions.
Nikon Monarch Fieldscope 20-60 x 82mm
$1,777.72 Regular / $1,599.95 Member
Experience edge-to-edge image sharpness with the Nikon Monarch Fieldscope. Nikon’s proprietary Field Flattener Lens System corrects for curvature aberrations in the lens, resulting in a crystal clear image all the way to the periphery of the field of view. Extra-low dispersion glass ensures excellent contrast and color transmission, while the Advanced Apochromat Optical System minimizes color fringing all the way to the limits of the visible light spectrum.
Sirui Aluminum Tripod Kit (ET1004 legs + VA5 head)
$266.56 Regular / $239.90 Member

The flip-lock legs are quick and easy to use, the fluid head is smooth and can hold up to 6.6 lbs, and the whole kit folds up to a compact 16.5 inches.
