I'm wating for the day I win the lotory,to get the Kowa highlander 82 mm observation binocular telescope.
I looked through a pair 32x once, looking at a snow gooses eye at a range my range finder would not lock on to.I was impressed with them.
I guess if I would ever buy that ticket I could get one. :roll:

Kenny,

I tried calling Forcum last night and today. Both times I received a telephone company message saying the call could not be completed as dialed. I have checked the number twice.

So:

1.) Do you, or anybody else know how to contact Forcum ? Phone or eMail.

2.) How does Forcum's stand compare to the "Standard" stand on this site:

Thanks,

Hal

I have been using this stand for my Kowa and I like it a lot. Extremely sturdy and steady.

The stand on the Georgia Precision site is a great stand. You don't need the Super Stand, just the std will do just fine. I have one with my name engraved on it and it is FINE! My 2 cents, David Barfield

Well,since I've been in a posting mood lately I'll throw in my 2 bits.I've got a Kowa with the 27LER eyepiece,Coydog has the 20x60.If you wear glasses,go with the 27LER.The 20x60 can be better with heavy mirage conditions,it's also considerably more expensive than the 27LER eyepiece.FWIW Monkeyboy.

Smokin,I think you should feel deprived! Where else can you get a shooting partner that will read bedtime stories to you every night in the Monkeymobile! I was probably practice for the Coypup! Looks like the "Q" is out.I'm doing Raton this year and just got the word that my Ball-Wall will be done in June! Too many choices,not enough time. Mike.
