What Bino's do you use?

[Elknut1]

  The Vultures are a step up from the D-Backs & run 269.00 they're clear & crisp! Yes they're tripod adaptable! The Fury is another slight step up from the Vultures but just under the Vipers. They would run 359.00 for 10x42 or 12.5x42 for 369.00 both are tripod adaptable. For brightness & clearness of objects these Optics will rival others in the 800-1000.00 range. I've seen it many times for myself!

Elknut I see your an authorized dealer are you also sponsored in some way by vortex or are just trying to drum up sales in a less than favorable market.

I've been real happy with the Eagle Optics brand binoculars that I bought about 4 years ago for less than $300.  http://www.eagleoptics.com/index.asp?pid=4700

i use a pair of nikon action exteme's

they werent as nice as i would have liked to get. but i got them at 60% off so i jumped on them. and i couldnt be more happier with them. i have dropped them plenty of times out of tree stands, off of logs, the roof of my lifted truck while drivin(forgot they were there) and they are still going strong. not really a mark on them suprizingly.

i cant see spending over $1k on a pair of bino's but i would sure love to have that finacial stability

A poor man cannot afford crap, because he then has to buy the 2nd one to replace the first one that did not measure up and meet his needs!

IMHO and IME binoculars are an extremely important part of hunting success and one should buy the best they can. Far more important than the amount spent on a scope or rifle.

No one buys great glass and hisses under their breath, "What's all the fuss?!!?"

Good gear pays for itself......

You get what you pay for when it comes to optics.

i always just used my scope as my optics for viewing the area. my nikons are a huge step in the right directon lol. like i said i cant be any happier with them then i am now. i havent had the pleasure of looking through a $1000+ pair of binos yet. i would however spend that money on a spotting scope before i did on bino's.

i have a small pair of 10year old nikons that i use when im actually hiking around. and the bigger 10x50 nikons i got last year just sit in the truck unless im glassing clearcuts and far hillsides. so in that case id rather have a spotting scope.

still though there is no way finacialy i can spend that kind of money. and again would be buying cheaper $500 or less optics. but as long as they get the job done and im happy wth them...its all good right.



ill spend the big money on boots. lol

Optics are a lot better these days than they were say 10 years or so ago.  I think 3 or 4 hundred bucks can get a fairly decent pair of binos these days.  The eagle optics binos that I have were just as good as some of the Pentax, Nikon, and Swaro binos that I compared them to when I was shopping for binos a few years ago.

I have the Cabelas brand now but after looking thru the Vortex 10x42 That is my next purchase before fall.
