Nikon Optics

By Dale Smith

There are so many ways to enjoy the great outdoors. You can watch the birds and other wildlife. You can go after big game during hunting season, either with a bow or a rifle. You can shoot the same animals in another way, with your camera. However, if you want to do any of these activities it is important that you not only keep yourself safe, but that you also maintain a respectful distance from the animals. To do this you need special optical gear. If you are serious about your wilderness time, then it isn't enough for you to go to a chain store and pick up any pair of binoculars and call it a day. Instead, you should demand the kind of quality that you can get from a respected supplier, such as Nikon optics.

The first place that you should look at the great quality of Nikon is in their binoculars. There are many different types of binoculars put out by Nikon, nearly eighteen in fact. All are high quality, but they are all designed to perform in a slightly different way. For instance, if you are just looking for a pair of binoculars that will give you great visuals but doesn't cost too much, you'll want to look at the ATB line. These binoculars are all outfitted with bright, high resolution optics and are completely water / fog proof. These binoculars have a huge Nikon following. With all of the binoculars Nikon has to choose from you are guaranteed to find what you are looking for. The trailblazer ATB with a ultra slim, ultra rugged body. Ecobins are made with the eco- friendly person in mind. The Eagleview zoom with an incredible 3 time zoom capacity and my favorite are the Stabileyes, which electronically keeps your viewing picture stabilized and eliminates the effects of vibration on land or sea.

Nikon products go far beyond binoculars however. They range into riflescopes, rangefinders, spotting scopes, digiscopes, and all their attendant accessories. Riflescopes are attachments that you put on your rifle to help see your game from far away. Nikon has a wide variety that encompasses all different types of hunting rifles. Some are even camouflage in color.

There is so much more at Nikon than just binoculars though. There are many other styles of long ranging devices such as riflescopes, rangefinders, spotting scopes, and digiscopes. The riflescopes come in a wide variety of styles and sizes so that they will fit on any type of rifle.

The rangefinder is a way for hunters to gauge the distance of their game with the click of a button. However, Nikon has also created rangefinders specifically designed for golfers and forest rangers.

This device works like a riflescope and has the same, if not longer, range. However, if you click a button on the finder it will give you the distance, in feet or yards, away from your target. There are different rangefinders in the Nikon line that are specifically designed for golf, hunting, or forestry. Spotting scopes are a lot like telescopes and Nikon has designed their life to be specific for hunting or other outdoor pursuits as well.

This means that you can connect your Nikon digital camera to one of Nikon's many products for beautiful wildlife photography.

Nikon optics is a huge line of state of the art equipment through which you can better enjoy the great outdoors no matter if you are going on safari or just want to improve your golf game. - 31499
