Looks good:

Nice product, but problem is, at 37 oz, they're about 11-15 oz heavier than what I'm looking for, and almost twice the price. Truth be told, if I was gonna run with something over 30 ounces, I'd get one of the vortex Hawk Owls:

Hawk Owl 8x56mm (34 oz), $330: http://www.opticsplanet.net/vortex-h...s-hol-856.html

Hawk Owl 9x63mm (39 oz), $350: http://www.opticsplanet.net/vortex-h...s-hol-963.html

fisherman, ha, I don't if congrats or pity are in order for that - proves I have very little to no life!
