This is a 7x50 with a wide FOV, an uncommon combination in the market.  It has rubber eyecups and a tripod socket under the right body.   This model appears to have  essentially the same optics as the Celestron Nova.  The view is sharp at the center but astigmatism and distortion is obvious at the edge.   The eye relief is not very comfortable.  Still, it may be of interest to the wide angle enthusiast.  Note that Swift catalogs also show a version of this model with a FOV of 488 feet at 1000 yards, and a normal angle Commodore (372 feet at 1000 yards).
