charen, I did not find them restrictive at all, M 7 fit with plenty of room to spare and all of the wide angle 10X50's I have tried had too much field curvature for me. So, I am happy with my choice.

moreofless, I forgot to mention how light they were, thank you for reminding me. Only two pounds or so and very easy to hand hold for these 60 year old hands. They really just came ready to use and fell into place right away.

rookie; I pre-ordered them. I knew from a friend that Cabela's had good customer service and they were "on sale" on their web site. I have had trouble with UPS, so I had them sent to their store for me. Easy pick up. My choice came from their reputation and using friend's pair of 10X42's.

Clear skies to us all;
Steve Coe
