What Bino's do you use?
« on: November 18, 2007, 11:58:37 AM »
Price usually means a certain quality level.  Brand is too specific as some have expensive/quality glass and a lower level glass.

There's a big gap in your poll.  -$150, 500+?  Where is the $150-$500?
I use Nikon 10x50s for coyotes.  I usually dont carry binocs in the woods while archery hunting.  They are pretty useless in heavy brush and timber and just get in the way.

Spent $300 bucks on a pair of Nikon 8x42 Monarch ATBs.  Good glass for the price ad I don't have an problem spotting game.  Wish i could afford the high end but like i said i get get good results with these. Had a pair of Leopold 10x42s before and the worked good also.  Same price around $300. My dad still uses his Leopolds he bought over 10 years ago.

SWAROVSKI---10by42...My  eyes never get tired. I also carry a doubler. I would put this combo up against most of the lesser spotting scopes.

Leica Geovid's. When I bought them, they cost me $1,600, but now they cost about $2,100. Love them, one of the best purchases of hunting equipment that I have ever made, although it still pisses my wife off to talk about them.  Scott

Swarovski 10x42 SLC's. I paid 700.00 for them 10 years ago (grey market) with no warranty. I have got my money's worth out of them 10 times over as far as I am concerned.

Leica 10x42 Geovids, best money spent yet.  Sold the Leica range finder and swaroskis to afford the purchase, a couple years ago.  Its nice having everything in one package.
