Check out Hawke binoculars online, I tried some out and really liked the way they felt and the optics seemed really good to me.

Go buy u a pair Redfields. Leupold bought them a while back and started putting their VRX2 glass in them. I held them next to the high priced bincos and the clairity and light was just as good. Im not blowing smoke. Just google them and read the reviews and that will convience u. And to convience u more, their only $159.99. Oh yeah they also have a lifetime garuntee like leuopold so if they get damanged u can send them back and they'll either send u a new pair or fix them.

If you are going with nikons atleast get the monarchs. I don't like them because nikons all have cheap flimsy eye cups. Go to thesamplelist.com and get the 8 x30 khales. Buy a very good quality set ONCE and be done with it, trust me!!!!! Been there done that!

Just got a catalog where Bass Pro is selling some Leupold binoculars for $119.00.

I actually bought a 10x monocular and like it. Its compact and clear (got it for $40.00).

I bought a pair of Leupold at Bass Pro for $99, and I love them. I compared them to Nikons and others in similar price range, nothing could touch the Leupold.

Look at Burris Signature Select binoculars. I've been really pleased with mine.

Hahah I think every response is going to be different.

I actually spent a great deal of time researching and looking through binoculars to find the ones I thought were the best/clearest.

I settled on the Minox BV IIs in 10x42. They will run you about $270 new...or if you can find a demo pair at Cameralandny.com you can save some $. That's what mine were. I found some binocular models that were clearer, but they were $1,200+ models. Yet these Minox were on par with those I looked through in the $500-800 range.

Leopold Acadia's out standing for the price

Leupold Cascades ! They are gonna be right near $300, but they are well worth it. Invest in a quality pair, whatever you get.

A piece of duct tape around the left eye cup fixes that.

In optics you get what you pay for. They may be clear now but how are they in a year, 5 years?
