Badlands Bino XR, Or Bino X Binocular case
Hey All,
I need some help, hoping someone out there has tried these bino chest rigs!
I have a set of older swarovski 8x56 SLC bino's They are 9-1/4" high, 5-1/4" wide, and 3-1/4 thick. According to the Badlands website they should fit, as the Bino XR case is 10" high, 7.5" wide, 4" deep, does not say if these are inside, or outside dimensions? So i'm hoping someone has this same set with my bino's !? I also have an older leica 1200 rangefinder, that is quite compact, that I'm hoping will fit also. I want to wear these under my vorn rifle backpack, the swarovski bino suspender system does not cut it, as the binos end up around your waist after a few mins into the hunt, etc. So if anyone can help, please do!
Thanks

Bino Pack
Hey all,
I sent a message to Alaska Guide Creations about their pack (DENALI ROK7 X56 Series HBS - MultiCam) that would fit my bino's. Their customer service dept replied back within 10 mins, wow......that's great customer service!
I then promptly placed the order, as i was able to have the correct info to make an informed purchase!
So for any others out there, if you have Swarovski bino's, their pack will fit upto 15x56SLC binos
Thanks for all the help, and recommendations, I hope they will arrive before the end of hunting season now!!

You won’t be disappointed. I use mine all the time, carry binos, rangefinder, licences, powerbar, Havalon knife and extra blades, set of disposable gloves for gutting...
Oh and just put my slingamaring on it to hold my rifle sling from slipping off my shoulder.

Yeah, no kidding!!
My Grandpa once told me, cry once, buy once!
Im sure they will last for the rest of my hunting days! I don't mind paying for good quality, they have a lifetime warranty also!
Would be more palatable if our dollar had a little more buying power, compared to the US greenback!!

You won't be disappointed with AGC. Best new piece of gear I've bought.

They make one that gets rebranded as vortex.
Otherwise, black ovis has a good selection and frequent sales, shipping was reasonable and duty was $16

Okay, thanks for the update!
I feel better now, knowing that it was on sale cheaper, and in Alberta!
As far as I know, they have no dealers in Canada ( Alaska Guide Creations )
