Binos

Hey I am wondering what type of binos you guys use. I had some 12 x 42 bushnells. They just didnt get the job done. Im looking for a little better. anyone got some ideas in the 50-70 dollar range or around there?

 

I went from 10x42 to 10x28 for the size. Just got some Bushnell Trophy (not the Trophy XLT) series and I think they are super nice for the price. I got them directly from Bushnell because I broke mine and sent them in for repairs. Got them for $63 after the discount and they have a great warranty.

10x42. At that price range I would start looking at goodwill or craigslist

 

you're wasting your money.... just my .02

 

You can get one of these for that price.

 

^LMAO^

 

Does it come with the mustache, if so that's a damn good deal.

Guys that a 10x lens. Looks German too. No joke

 

unfortunately, even decent glass is gonna cost you at least a couple hundred dollars on the lower end of decent. Average decent pair is in the $500-$700 range and upper end is thousands. Do yourself a favor. Keep using the cheap pair you have and save up. Vortex, Nikon, Leupold, all make models that you can catch on sale for around a couple hundred $. There are things that make sense to pinch pennies on, glass is not one of them

 

Like this....

 

IMO, the best glass for the money are the Leupold Cascades....They'll run you $300, but are much better than most binos that cost nearly twice as much. You can sometimes find them on sale cheaper, and a rebate here and there. If you aren't going to spend at least $200, don't bother...

 

inexpensive binos vary a lot in quality and the worse ones will make your eyeballs ache after a short period of glassing. also some of those little folding ones are out of alignment and will give a slightly split view. realizing not everyone's budget will support a couple hundred bucks for binos, recommend looking through them before buying for clarity and alignment or make sure you can return them if they aren't.

 

I have Vortex Diamondbacks like shown above. For stand hunting I love them, and even used them last December for glassing on my Coues hunt.

Also, I used the Vortex warranty when one eye piece froze up and broke. No questions asked, sent them an email saying I needed them back in 2 weeks. Had a brand new pair within a week. Forever a Vortex customer.

I love my Leupold Cascades, but the Leupold HD Mojave glass is incredible, and under $650.

 

leupold acadia binos on sale for about 200 bucks at bass pro are excellent. highly recommend.

 

Thanks for the advice I went with the vortex crossfire 10x42 and I love them
