I wish to buy a binocular to replace one lost, and am interested in a Vortex Fury 10x32. I am in Lima for a few days from 18th May. Please let me know if you have this (& 8x32 for comparison) in stock & where I find you. Also do you stock Bushnell 8x42?
Yours sincerely
George mason

Hi Richard. When exactly was this and did you do any follow up to higher level i.e. Vice ministry of tourism and/or PromPeru or just the local police? I would be happy to take it to a further level.
For those that don't know: Eagle Optics and Vortex is the same company.

Good to see the market opening up in Peru. After our armed robbery in Pisco which is not a rare event, we were desperate to gear up again with very little luck. We went looking at Polvos Azules only to find the quality low and prices surprisingly high. I didn't venture down to the other market.

I've had very good experience with Eagle Optics and wish you well in the endeavor.

This is a great idea! I like how you've found the root of the problem and gone after that rather than trying to treat the symptoms (like trying to secure the birders).

I wish you the best of luck in your ventures and hope everything works out!

Hopefully opening the market for high quality affordable optical equipment will help stop robberies.
People buying stolen goods should think twice, as the products belog really to other passionate birders or nature lovers as they pretend to be.
Great idea! Hope to be able to get a pair soon
