Place in SoCal to try binocs?

[Pep1]

Are there any stores where you can try the swarovski or Zeiss or the like? Walmart doesnt seem to carry them, nor does turners. North OC places would be a bonus.

Riverside Archery carries some Leica binos. 909-684-9192.

I know they have Swarovski. Not sure about Zeiss.

You might want to try the next JHP hunt. There are many different kinds of glass and you'd get to try them in a real outdoor setting. The lights in most stores make the $29 binocs look like the $999 ones.

West Marine, in Dana Point...

Thanks. Fowler had Zeiss and Swarovski. Both were very nice compared to what I have now. Now if I can get past that $1495 price tag. Ouch!

Besides Fowler, TRY scope world on the corner of Bristol and Palerino in Costa Mesa. Its right over the 405 near South Coast Plaza.

Pep1, $1,499.00? What kind/power are they selling for that kind of price? Look real hard at what kind you want and shop around.

Ziess can be had for around $700.00 now.
Swarovski and Leica can be had for under $1000.00 if you look around. maybe even cheaper than that.

$1,499 would be the price with the usual Fowler discount.....
