I changed up the lenses for my shooting glasses. I went with a copper colour, and tried it out today. It seems to dramatically increase contrast. When I look into the forest behind my house I clearly see through the bushes and trees. Maybe it's the new prescription, but it seems a lot better than the dark tint I had before. Anyone hunt with glasses colour tinted?
 
I'm the same way. I copper tint in a polarized lens is all I use now. I like the Randolph's American Tan lens, I have a couple and they really do well in very bright sun, all the way down to rather low light.

I use that brand too, but an old pair - I am rocking the '70's look:LOL:
 
Nah. The 50s. The birth of rock and roll. My glasses are photo grey and they do get a little dark in the evening. My ski goggles are a rose tint and work well in all conditions.
 
My sunglasses (which I commonly shoot and bird/rabbit hunt with) are dark grey tint. I trout fish quite a bit and the dark grey is always preferred over the brown/amber. It's been 20 years since I tried other colors so maybe technology has changed.
 
I use both blue tint and orange/ copper. It does make a difference depending on background.

On water, I have a pair of costas that are a green tint that work really well for me. I still am a horrible fisherman, but I can see what I am not catching.

I generally don't wear sunglasses when hunting.
I took a pair on safari and they never left the truck.
At the range I wear non-polarized grey tint outside and yellow inside.

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
