Alpen Optics Received Top Honors From Field & Stream

Alpen 711 20X50 Mini Spotting Scope

Alpenoptics.com

Field & Stream - -(AmmoLand.com)- Alpen Optics continues to impress magazine editors from some of the largest outdoor publications in the land. Field & Stream Magazine recently did a field test comparing five different spotting scopes to see which spotting scopes performed the best.

A variety of tests were performed – how well they performed in low light, how easy they are to hold one-handed, how sharp they are, and how bright they are were a few of the tests performed. Out of all five spotting scopes tested, the Alpen model 711 20X50 mini spotting scope received top honors.

Some of the top name brand spotting scopes in the industry were tested and Alpen walked away leading the pack. It is also important to note that out of all spotting scopes tested, the Alpen model 711 was the least expensive, proving what Alpen has known for a long time: you don’t have to break the bank to own a high-quality, crystal-clear spotting scope or pair of binoculars.

“We are very proud that magazines like Field & Stream continue to see the quality and value found in Alpen Optics. The 711 is a great spotting scope for birding, hunting or any sport where a compact spotting scope is needed,” Vickie Gardner said.

Over the past decade, Alpen Optics has won numerous field test awards because of their never ending drive to build optics that perform in the field, at the race track or in the backyard that are long-lasting, crystal-clear and reasonably priced.

The Alpen Model 711 is one of many quality products that Alpen Optics offers. Alpen offers spotting scopes, rifle scopes and binoculars for every lifestyle and price range.
