Binocs for African Plains Game hunting?

Wow... just... wow.

That cost more than the ten animals on my first trip to Africa.

Rich husband buys them to seemingly impress others in hunting camp. Rich husband dies of sudden cardiac arrest after returning home and wife sells hideous bino carriers at garage sale for $3 bucks.

If the tables were turned and she had bought the LV Binos, then died of cardiac arrest...I would have at least gotten an R8 out of the deal. ;) Probably a two Selous barrel professional hunter set with a Blaser Pelican case!
 
Well, for those looking for stylish method to carry your binoculars, saw this at a store this past weekend. :unsure:

When I called to purchase a pair I was disappointed. apparently that is a purse. Not binoculars.

I thought they would go nicely with my LV glasses.

ZEISS 10X32’s they worked perfectly for me both on the hunt and during the photo safari for 2 days in Etosha and also the tour through Damaraland to the Skeleton Coast.
 
I took mine….Meopta Meostar 10x42 B1

Sometimes I took them, sometimes I didnt, also good for viewing game around camp. I didn’t take them for the buff, but used them for the Kudu and other plains game (but not all)

Worth taking in my view…..sitting at Africa Sky now…..making the trek home :(

I have no idea the shipping cost from here to Costa Rica. I can do my research on shipping and get back with you later today.

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
