Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is the internal rangefinder visible at all times? Can this binocular be use for astronomy too?

A: The Barska 7x50 WP Battalion Binocular does not have an illuminated rangefinder so it would be difficult to view in low light. They can be used for astronomy too but I would recommend using binoculars that do not have a rangefinder, but ones with more magnification and/or a larger objective lens diameter.

Q: 2. For stargazing and general use, which would be more suitable: model 575 or 2038?

A: For general use, there is no difference in the two models as both are 7x50. For stargazing, you may want to try the 10x50 model instead. Of course as you increase in magnification you will have to hold steady as the image will jump. I purchased the 2038 for a wilderness trip and was completely satisfied with my purchase. Either way, you won't be disappointed, Steiner binoculars are worth the money.

Q: 3. Are you limited by the eye cups not being able to twist into multiple heights? Any black outs for eye relief?

A: I do not believe you will have any issues. However if you do wear Glasses it might be an issue. I do recommend maybe going with a Model that have Eyecup's that can twist down, or fold down. Like a Steiner Model would work well.

Q: 4. How does the compass work? Is it displayed inside the viewing area of the binocular?

A: Yes it has an internal compass with rangefinding reticle. While the compass is electronically controlled for rapid response to bearing changes, illumination is by a natural daylight-gathering window. At night, you will need the optional external compass illuminator.

Q: 5. I'm looking for a scope that can tell me the elevation (in degrees) of an object with respect to the horizon. Sorta like a sextant for navigation, but in a compact monocular or binocular system. Any ideas??? Thank you so much!!!

A: Unfortunately we don't have anything like that.

Q: 6. what do you to clean the rubberized grips they are stickey?? yes

A: Please test a small unobtrusive area first: Try using a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution to remove the stickiness Toluene available from most home improvement stores may work better to remove the stickiness, but it is very flammable. It's a lack of polymerizer that causes the problem,. Sometimes a badly-polymerized batch from China will just turn to goo on you, but for partial cases, some boaters use 'french chalk', the powder gymnasts and rock-climbers put on their hands.

Q: 9. It has individual eye focusing, but is it what is commonly referred to as insta-focus, ie always in focus at nearly any distance once each eye is focused?
