Help Picking Binos

What’s your budget?

I think the Zeiss Conquest line is some of the best glass for the price out there, though they don’t make 12’s. You could probably find some used Razors out there for a good price too. Meopta’s get solid reviews too. I really like 12’s and would have a pair if I weren’t rocking a 10’s & 15’s setup.

My suggestion would be to join Rokslide, read some of the bino reviews by Matt Cashell, build 10 posts to access the classified and browse there. Probably the best used optics market out there.

Thanks for the advice so far.
Unfortunately, I dont have quite the budget this go around for the glass I would love. Most of my money being saved at the moment is going towards lodging and fuel for my quality tag this fall.
So my budget is topping out around $200 maybe $250

Diamondbacks aren't terrible. And when the coatings on them wear off in a few years you can get a fresh pair from Vortex,

For years I was similar to you, buying cheap binos that I could afford keeping them for a few years then realizing they were no longer worth half what I paid for them, always going up in price a hundred or so for the next ones that I would end up keeping for 3-4  more years, then I came to the conclusion that all the money I had been spending on the cheap ones was closing in on the price of quality ones,I figured it was time to invest in Swarovski, that was 25 years ago they were just SLC's but they are just as good today as they were then. Monday I'll be passing through Missoula and purchasing a new pair of NL Pures, Swarovski has them $500 off and no tax so that'll be about an $800 savings,  do yourself a favor a quit wasting your money like I did for years and just save up until you can buy quality you'll be glad you did

Buy the $170 Leupys and be done with it.
If you win the lottery then it reslly gets complicated - range finding or not? Stabilization?  The sig stabilizing binos at $1100 are amazing - I have the 16x and work great - and light!!!
