    If you are looking in that price range you might be pretty happy with said Bino's. It all depends on what you can afford and what you expect. If you are looking at Turkeys at 100 yards these will be good and the same for deer in close range in full daylight. If you want more look at some of the other brands and look at birding websites to see what they use to view birds on a budget. There are a ton of options out there and do not be afraid to buy used if you are buying certain brands as they offer lifetime warranties even if you are not the original buyer. Vortex has a no fault warranty and even there entry line bino has it. Others do too. Good luck in your search.

    Nice and 50$ don't go together in optics, in that price range there isn't much difference from brand to brand or pair to pair.

    In glass you really do get what you pay for. I always say, "that if you can't see it...... you can't hit it."
    I have scopes on rifles that cost way more than the rifle did.
    For $50, there isn't any one that is better than the other.

    Start saving your money for better glass and yes, better glass is much more expensive.

    Agreed eg. My optics are the most expensive part of all my set-ups. You truly get what you pay for.

    You do only get what you pay for in optics. It is a very important part of your equipment so try not to skimp on them. Save your money for a better pair and you will be happy. I guarantee it.
