After three years of field testing from sea level to 12,000 feet in elevation, Huskemaw has introduced 10X-42mm HD binoculars to its optics lineup. These binoculars leverage the same high-density Blue Diamond lens coatings found on Huskemaw’s Blue Diamond Series long-range riflescopes. The multi-coated lenses are made from German glass, promising to deliver extreme edge-to-edge clarity and light transmission. Linear field of view is 342 feet at 1000 yards. The binoculars are constructed from aluminum with stainless-steel ocular pieces, and are waterproof, fog proof and shock proof.
For more information on these 10X-42mm HDs, which weigh in at 24.6-ounces, and boast fully adjustable eyepieces, check out huskemawoptics.com. MSRP: $1,199.99
