ZeroTech Optics' latest offering, the Thrive HD series, boasts the latest generation of the company's Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass. This provides a generous depth of field and superior low-light performance, thanks to the Dielectrically Coated Bak 4 Prisms. Additionally, this series boasts smoother and faster focus wheels and textured grip panels, covering a strong but lightweight full-magnesium-alloy construction. The optics remain protected from dust and debris with integrated rubber lens covers, while the inclusion of a flip-top bino caddy harness system ensures hands-free carry and storage of essential items. The series comes in four optical configurations: 8x25mm (compact), 10x25mm (compact), 8x42mm, and 10x42mm.

Review: Winchester 400 Legend
