Vanguard

3 of the 4 sliding joints slide with only the weight of my arm resting on the top. The pivots at the top of each leg have excessive play and allow wobble. The swivel joint between the handle and the legs wobbles. Overall the concept is fine but the execution is terrible. I would have been better off buying something with simpler leg locks. I wish I could rate zero stars.

Overall I really like this case. I recently flew with it and was able to fit a takedown rifle, 9mm handgun, 4 mags for each, plus 250 rounds of ammo for each comfortably in this case with plenty of separation. The egg crate foam gets the job done well enough, but I plan on replacing the bottom foam with pick & pluck at some point to satisfy my inner neat freak. I could have also done without the built-in straps. They might be fine if all you're transporting in it is a shotgun, but it limits the location and orientation of where you can place your firearm if you plan on casing anything along with it. I haven't decided yet whether to keep them in place or just cut them out.

Bought these glasses to replace pair I lost. I am quite pleased with all aspects of this product. My wife and I are recreational (not avid) birders., and also own two pair of Steiner 8X22's. This ia a fine addition to our birding experience.
