A compact monocular can be surprisingly useful in the field.

Take a closer look at distant structures, landmarks, and possible access routes while researching old settlements.

Survey Large Fields

Identify gates, trails, and terrain features without repeatedly walking back and forth.

Gold Prospecting Adventures

Great for Hunting, Hiking & Wildlife Watching

Hunting & Scouting: Observe deer, turkey, and other wildlife from a distance.

What Does 8x20 Mean?

8X Magnification

Objects appear approximately eight times larger than when viewed with the unaided eye.

20mm Objective Lens
