Recommendations for Binos

[Jmed]

Ive used the vortex talons 10x42 for 3 years now and have been happy with them.

I have 2 pairs, one is the Vanguard Endeavors in 10x (great glass) and the other pair is a set of 8x Steiners.
The lightweight Steiners are used 90% of the time , comfortable and lightweight wins everytime.

One other suggestion would be to watch 24 hour campfire. There are some well healed fellas over there that upgrade every year, might get a deal on a slightly used pair.

I have a pair of the Vanguard Endeavor 10x42. FOV is around 371 I believe. I got them off a recommendation on here and have been very pleased with them.

Same here. I bought mine off Cheaper than Dirt. After rebate they were $240 to my door.

The best pair I have ever looked through have been some Leicas, but I have never looked through any swars or vanguards. Next time I'm at Sportsmans Warehouse or Cabelas, I'm going to look through all the ones they have in stock. Right now I'm leaning towards Leica, Vortex, Leupold, Zeiss, and Swar. At least I've narrowed it down a little. :bash:

Best 250 bucks I ever spent (I got the Camo ones). Compare them to some of the high dollar glass others have mentioned and you might be pleasantly surprised:

I'll be sure to check them out next time I see them in store.

Didn't get mine that cheap. Think I gave $275 on sale on Cabela's 3 or 4 years ago.

Cheaper than Dirt had the camo for $290 with free shipping and at the time Vanguard was offering a $50 mail in rebate. I knew I couldn't go wrong.

For the money Nikon monarch are hard to beat.

It really comes down to your budget. For the money it's hard to beat the vortex diamondback. I bought the 10x50's. I use them for my archery tournaments and hunting.

I sold my kidney 4 years ago and purchased some Swaro's. Liked them so much, I sold one of my &@!$ and put one on top of Tika.
I have anxiety knowing my optics are worth more than my truck but I'm at ease knowing I can get most of my money back one day.

Love my leica. I was just about to buy swaro when I got an email from EuroOptic that they were having a sale. I think I paid 1199. I tried some vortex top line model??? Edges seemed to blur after a few minutes.

Hands down Vortex. Best quality and price.

Depends on what you want to spend. I just went through the same thing. There are really nice binos out there, but they will cost you. I ended up going back with Nikon Monarch 7 in 10x42. So far I am not disappointed. It is a good match of quality at a reasonable price point.

Got a pair 2 yrs ago. Loved them so far.

Steiner Merlins going on 14 years now. great value, and around 500 bucks. I consider it a crime should I forget them , and I rarely do.
