Designed for most conventional observation applications, the AGM 8x36B Daytime Binoculars are engineered to be an invaluable addition to any hiking, hunting, birding, shooting, surveillance, or tactical kit. This model is outfitted with a general-purpose ranging reticle specifically designed to enable fast and easy estimation of the range to, and size of, subjects such as people, boats, buoys, game animals, and landmarks.

The binocular's optics are anti-reflection multi-coated to maximize light transmission through the light path, with an angle of view that approaches wide angle to provide sweeping views of the terrain. When coupled with the traditional BAK4 Porro prism light path, they present the user with an immersive observational experience defined by bright and clear high-contrast views and accurate color rendition. Instead of the more conventional center focusing mechanism, each eyepiece is individually focusable to allow users to achieve the sharpest views possible even if they normally wear corrective lenses.

Complementing the optical performance are construction details that allow this binocular to withstand the rigors of the outdoors. The chassis is made of a lightweight and impact-resistant aluminum alloy that is wrapped in a rubber armor that offers improved grip security, especially in cold and wet weather. Its optical tubes are nitrogen filled to be resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme temperature changes and environmental conditions and sealed to an IP67 rating so they are dustproof and submersible to 3.3' (1m) for up to 30 minutes. A one-piece eyepiece rainguard attaches to the neck strap, and objective lens caps are tethered to the chassis at the center hinge so users have fast access to them and they can't be lost in the field.
