Sgt Anthony Treml: On my last deployment to Afghanistan with my Army unit I decided to upgrade my M-16 rifle with some added optics. I chose the Alpen Kodiak 6-24x50 scope. Sure, it may have been a little big for a 5.56 cal rifle but it was guaranteed that I could see anything within 2 miles. I mainly use the scope for spotting purposes of an Infantry unit I was attached to that needed some extended vision for mortar spotting. For a high power scope Alpen makes, in my opinion, one of the most durable scopes for a military soldier. My rifle went everywhere with me in my HEMMT tow truck. The only damage that was sustained to my scope was some scratches and a slight bend in the rear eye relief. I actually did not know about the bend in my scope until I returned state-side and pulled it out of my shipping container. I would like to thank Alpen for making such a durable and reliable scope.

Brandon: “I was the lucky winner of the All Outdoors Radio photo of the month for August and received your Binoculars. I have to say they are the best ones I have every owned. I am so impressed. I have been using them daily to observe wildlife in my backyard. I have also taken them on a few hikes. I have been showing them to all the visitors to my house and will strongly recommend your products to anyone. I wanted to thank you and All Outdoors Radio for this gift. It was a wonderful surprise.”
J. Goodman: “I purchased a 10x42 Shasta Ridge binocular from Alpen Optics and took it with me to Colorado on a hunt. One of my fellow hunters had a Steiner binocular and asked if he could try my Alpen. When he looked through it he said he liked it better than his Steiner. I am really hard to please and I was blown away by your binocular. I would also have told you if I did not like it.”
 Janette Domke: “I live up in the great north woods of Wisconsin. I own a pair of Apex 8x32 and would like to send you some pictures of them. At the end of early season archery last year I accidentally dropped my binoculars in the woods. By the time I realized it, we had a foot of snow on the ground and there was no hope of finding them until spring. I was devastated because I was sure my wonderful binoculars would be ruined. Well, as soon as the snow melted I headed out to look for them last week. I found them finally out in the woods under a lot of dirt and debris. They have been chewed on by the critters. Most of the rubber coating is gone, the lens caps are completely eaten off, and the focus knob and eyepiece rubber is badly chewed, but they still work fine and are as clear as ever (once I got the “who knows what” cleaned off the lenses.) You should see this! It is unbelievable.
 Jeff Hunt: Vickie, Just wanted to say THANK YOU! for your help & support. We had a great deer hunt and I owe most of it to you and Alpen Optics. The new scope was flawless and performed amazing in some very unfavorable conditions. Southern Utah dirt, wind, rain & hail and this buck was taken in the middle of it all. I glassed him up first thing in the morning. With the naked eye all you could see was his dark body and his white face. There was just enough light to be able to tell he was a deer. Once I pulled up on him with my Apex Scope things changed. I could see not only was he a buck but a pretty good buck indeed. As my friends struggled to see how big he was I pulled the trigger knowing good and well he was a good one.
Two looks and two seconds is all it took. Took one look at his rack and then another look at his vitals and it was over. He was 220 yards away in darkest of dawn. On 10X he looked like he was ten feet away and with the amount of light the apex scope was collecting. There was no-doubt this buck just made a big mistake. Like in all hunts several factors play into whether or not you are successful. Optics is one of the biggest, especially in Utah. Glass ranks right up their with the weapon. Your optics has been a huge part of my success throughout the last several years. Several Mule Deer and Elk have succumb to the power of the Alpen Glass. Thank you for sending the replacement scope to me overnight. I truly appreciate your support, friendship and product.
Alpen Optics “how the west was won”
 Bill Karr, Editor, Western Outdoor News, NorCal “WOW!!! Let me tell you, during my 5-day horseback pack trip out of Kennedy Meadows into the Sierra at 10,500 feet near Yosemite, that Alpen Kodiak scope on my new Tikka got snowed on, bumped, anged and dropped enough times so it it actually was scratched and dented a bit after climbing rocky granite ledges and through brush and trees. Yet, when it came time, it was dead on for my 120-yard shot on a 300-pound black bear. I have owned many different types of scopes in the past, but from now on, it's Alpen only! There is no scope I know of that wouldn't have been knocked out of wack by all it went through. Congratulations on outstanding optics! Now, I only use Alpen scopes and binoculars.”
Craig B: “I just received the Alpen 788 Kit I ordered earlier this week. Wow! I am impressed. I couldn’t wait to get to the range, so I set up my tripod in my back yard and began looking at far off objects. Even with the slight mirage in the 103 degree heat in Phoenix I was able to count the threads on bolts in street lights a good 300 yards away. 223 holes at 300 yards will be no problem and hits on silhouette targets at 200 meters will be a breeze.” “Thank you for a great product.”
Pat Trimboli :“What a nice surprise I received today from Fed-Ex. I know you said you would repair the Apex binoculars and they would be better than I expected, but I did not imagine they would be that clear and I can’t thank you enough for the kindness and quick response that you returned these to me. I am delighted. I have a friend who has the other kind (Swarovsky) and he is still trying to find something about his that is better than mine. It’s so sweet! “I used the Alpen Apex binoculars November 22 and took the largest buck I have ever taken anywhere in the U.S., let alone Mississippi. The deer was an 8 point, 228 pound buck and will score around 135 Boone and Crockett. Had I not had my Alpen binoculars with me, I never could have made it out in the thicket. I was able to harvest the deer at 62 yards. Without a doubt, you have a loyal follower.”
Bill Anderson: “Since I purchased a pair of Alpen RAINIER binoculars, five or six fellow archers have also bought them, as they love mine. I think they are the very best binoculars I have ever owned, and I have had many high end binoculars. Thanks!”
Rod Exline: “I would like to thank you for making the best glasses [binoculars] I have ever owned—bar none! I have had these glasses for 4 or 5 years. I like to pick up deer shed antlers and your glasses have saved me a lot of footsteps looking for them. Thanks!”
John C. Byrd: “Several years ago my wife purchased these Alpen Binoculars without my knowledge and gave them to me as a gift. Having never seen this brand I was disappointed (of course I never let her know.) To my surprise these are the clearest binoculars I have ever used. I have enjoyed them for many years and look forward to many more hunting seasons with them. Thank you for a wonderful product.”
Judy Greene: “I just wanted to let you know that I have a pair of your binoculars and I love them. I wear glasses all the time and your binoculars are the only ones that I have found that I can see through clearly. Thanks for your product. I have since gotten two more people to buy Alpen binoculars and they love them. I am always letting people try mine and they like them better than any others they have used for 3D archery.”
Steve Smith: Hi, I recently purchased your new Alpen Teton 10X42 optics and they are FANTASTIC! Their performance in low light situations, along with their quick focus and ultra-crisp image clarity is unbelievable for the price. Thanks for making such a great product.
Richard Maretzo: “You have a quality product for a reasonable price. When I placed your spotting scope next to the (big-brand name) at the International Championships, the comments were all the same. There was not enough difference to justify the cost (of the big-brand name scope).”
John Gartner: “At a local dealer I was introduced to Alpen. I was dubious at first but did some research and decided to order. I found the optics were fantastic, the warranty is life of the product, service and prices were as advertised. It is really great stuff.”
North American Bow hunter Product Review: “… the greatest thing about the entire Alpen is that it provides its customers with a superior product at working man’s prices. The Alpen line is backed by some of the warmest and most knowledgeable people in the industry. Their creed is to provide an excellent product backed by excellent customer service. And that is exactly what they do in a most congenial way.”
Janet Dykman, El Monte, CA: (Two-time archery Olympian): “When I am practicing and shooting my arrows, I can see where the arrows go with most any spotting scope because my arrows are the only ones in the target. When shooting 70 meters or longer, with others that have the identical arrows, I can’t pick mine out. In the groove of the nock of my arrows, I put a black dot so I can identify them. When I use your #788 scope the image is so bright and sharp I can easily identify my own even at 70 M. It’s definitely a superior product.”
David…,W Richland, WA: “At my local sporting goods store they have the (higher priced well-known brand) spotting scopes reduced to about $100 less than normal web pricing. I fully intended to buy one but wanted to compare your model #735 to it. I couldn’t believe it but your #735 was sharper. I was using a Swarovski resolution cart on the back wall about 100 ft. away. I kept trying to tell myself the other scope was as good, but it wasn’t. I also compared the #735 to a $900 (another high-rated brand) 12-40x60, and to my eyes the #735 was still sharper. Thanks for a great product.”
Mark…, Tulsa, OK: “Received some Alpen 8x42 field glasses as a prize recently that you had donated and would like to thank you. They are by far the best quality glasses I have ever owned and I have owned several. Will suggest to anyone they check out your glasses first if they are shopping for field glasses. Again, thank you.”
Arnie…, Woodhull, NY: “Won a pair of compact 10x25 at a benefit for abused women. I cursed optics for a long time for the weight and lack of clarity. I swore Zeiss and Leupold were the only quality for the dollar. Well, long story short, these compacts were stolen from me, and as an avid bow hunter I was really put out. But somehow by the grace of God they were returned to me and I can’t wait for the bow season to come. Thanks for proving me wrong.”
Brad Jones, May, TX: “As an outfitter for hunts, I recently purchased an Alpen KODIAK #2050 4-12x40 riflescope. I already have a much more expensive scope, but I found that for the value, you really can’t beat this Alpen. It really does the job. Why would a person who hunts two or three times a year want to pay $1,000 for a scope when for the price and value of the Alpen you can’t beat it…I am very impressed with the Alpen products. (Ps. It’s a helluva scope!)”
Tony Murillo: Here are my comments on the Alpen products. I mean every word written below: After some time researching and looking through binoculars, I bought the Alpen Shasta Ridge #478 10x42. The clarity and quality of the glass is superb. I no longer get eye strain and am comfortable looking through these all day. They perform comparably alongside friends’ optics costing 2-3 times more. (Always get a kick out of that). Since then, I’ve purchased the Apex 4030 riflescope and the compact #728 spotting scope. All put through rigorous use for a full season. Having tried and tested them myself, I’m sold now on the solid build and quality of these optics. BIG FAN!
Troy Peterson, Antonito, CO: “I had a group of hunters here recently. They all brought out their SPOTTING SCOPES in the morning… Leupold, Bushnell, Tasco, etc. Then I brought out my ALPEN 15-30x50 (730) scope, set it up and let those hunters try it out. When I told them the price, the fellow with the Leupold went right back to his car, put money in my hands and bought it right there. Others said they wish they had known about Alpen before they paid high dollars for the ones they had.”
Phil:…”I have your #706 Digital Camera Adapter set up on an Alpen #788 spotting scope in my store where it attracts a lot of attention. People love this adapter and it sells very well.”
J. Slone: “Your help and Alpen’s customer service have been absolutely top notch. I will not hesitate to recommend Alpen when the opportunity arises.”
M. Werner, Worden, MT: “I would like to thank you for replacing my scope. I am very pleased with your products and your services. I will be a continuing customer for many years to come. Your customer service is outstanding. I will be purchasing a new pair of binoculars and spotting scope in the near future and will keep your company on the top of my list when comparison shopping for these items.”
C. Riddle: “Vickie, I have a fetish for quality optics and when I purchased the APEX 12x50 I did so with some skepticism, in fact I thought they were headed straight to the closet after the first use. Boy, was I wrong! They have proved to be an equal to my binoculars costing 3x as much. I will never doubt Alpen optics again. In fact, I will recommend your optics to anyone. I am a convert.”
