Gift Ideas For The Gun Guy/Gal Who Already Has It All - #2 Adasion 12x42 Binoculars

In our previous blog post we discussed the need to have a good flashlight.  One example of it was the Fenix PD35 TAC.

Another item that is staple in my shooting bag is a good pair of binoculars.

While I am certainly not an optics snob who needs a $3,000 pair of binoculars with a built in range finder,  I do need something good enough to use at the range to either locate targets, spot hits for other shooters or to record shooting footage for my YouTube videos.

One pair I recently picked up was the Adasion 12x42 Binoculars on Amazon.

What attracted me to the pair specifically was that they were fairly light weight at 1.25 lbs and used a BAK4 prism and came with a smart phone adapter.

The BAK4 prism is a Chinese variety and slightly trails the German standard, it is far superior to the lower end BAK7 prisms, having a better refractive rate.

The smart phone adapter was well worth the money as I could mount my phone and have it record the target cam footage.  You can see it in use in my latest Ruger video on the 300 PRC. 

The Adasion 12x42 Binoculars are priced around $80 and is available in the United States from Amazon.com and I will have a detailed video on them in the near future.

Ordered and received them next day and promptly received the refund. Had a chance to check them out with the beautiful weather this weekend and like them. I especially like the camera adapter....

Received, and feedback left.

"These are a great buy for the money.  As good as or better than some of the more expensive bino's.  The camera mount is a nice addition.  

Is there anything more I need to do for the refund?

Thanks

When did you guys get the email link?

If you guys didn't provide the order info then that's prob why you haven't gotten the refund via PayPal.

Here's the link from Mak's NJGF post. They need some info from the order to properly vet and your PayPal info to refund the cost.

Received mine today. These are really nice binos, especially for the price (even before refund :) ). Thanks for setting this up! I'm going to enjoy these.

And I left feedback on their Amazon page.

Received mine today.  Opened them up when I got home.  Very nice binoculars.  I tried out using my wife's iPhone 8 and it worked very well.  You need to have a way to stabilize the binoculars with the phone but once you do that it takes a really nice picture especially if you put the mag X2 on the phone.

I guess we need to do the review on Amazon as well.  What else are we to do in order to receive the refund?

I did enter all my info with the Amazon order number and my PayPal account and everything as required.  How do you know when you get the refund?

I also did a review with pictures of the whole setup and also pictures that I took using the iPhone with the binoculars.  Amazon said it may take a couple of days to review the review and post it.

Just checked my PayPal account and it says money received but that it is on hold.

If you just got them today maybe the payment will clear by Wednesday? Not sure why you got a Pending status on the payment. I don't recall seeing that on my PayPal account but I could have just missed that.

Is this deal still available?

I think Maks got the deal going with them. If this post is still live it should be GTG. Follow his Amazon link at the beginning of the post. Provide the info he requested and wait for the refund and delivery. Worse case scenario you can return for free within the 30 days and that's from Amazon.

Ditto - I filled out the form fully, received the binoculars on Monday, posted the review that night.

Hey guys, a few folks have not yet, I believe the vast majority have.  Will go through the list and see who has not yet and make sure you do.
