Alpen scopes

[jon lynn]

I've been seeing Alpen Kodiak scopes on all the optics for sale places. I know Alpen bino's but this scope LOOKS like a BSA.

But the Apex looks and seems a better scope, but with Leupold prices...........just curious, does anyone know these scopes?

Jon,

Just a quick note on Alpen. As a die-hard elk hunter first class optics are an essential tool of the trade. I have tried almost every optic mfg. on the market, and I have to say that for the money, I do not think that you can find a better optics manufacturer than Alpen. I know Vickie Gardner (owner) personally. She and Tim are first class folks selling a world class product.

I personally use Alpen Binos and spotting scopes exclusively. I use Apex 10x42 for every day use and have both 730 and 788 spotting scopes. I would stack my Apex bonos us against Swarvs any day....and have!

If you have further questions email me at: jay@elkcamp.com.

Blessings

Back when they first came out I got an 8 power binocular. Some bird watchers told me it was the best for the money. So far I have no complaints. I don't know about the scopes.
