Burris 8x42 Signature Series binoculars

Guns Magazine, Dec, 2004 by Glenn Barnes

There are good binoculars and then there's everything else. Anyone who tells you differently simply hasn't spent much time in the field, or they plain old don't know what they're talking about.

There's nothing worse than spending an afternoon glassing the side of a mountain, a bean field so large you have to look twice just to see the other side, or the deep shadowy forests where game animals call home, with inferior binoculars. Worse case scenarios include not seeing that Boone & Crockett whitetail on the far edge of the field, and eye strain induced headaches so bad a double dose of Excedrin won't knock it out.

For the most part, the only way for the average hunter or birdwatcher to obtain superior quality binoculars is to rob Junior's college fund, skip a couple of meals each day, and trade in the family sedan for a bicycle. Simply put, good glass costs lots of money and most of us can't afford it. That was yesterday. Today, thanks to Burris, not only can we have our cake, we can also enjoy every bite and even share a slice or two with the neighbors.

Burris' Signature Series line of quality binoculars provides the user with the best of both worlds. Not only are they very affordable, quality is exceptional and ranks right up there with glass costing four and five times as much. Here's what Burris packs into each and every Signature Series binocular: multi-coaled lenses for reflection elimination and maximum light transmission, a long eye-relief that doesn't sacrifice field of view, a large exit pupil for use in low-light conditions or extended periods of viewing, O-ring sealing locks to keep out moisture, tough rubber armor coating for long lasting durability, retractable eye cups and focus lock. They also come complete with their very own carrying case and straps. Affordable quality best describes Burris' Signature Series binoculars. Give them a try and you'll agree.
