Guest Broncho10 Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 If you could have any binoc, regardless of the price, which make and model would it be? I would have to put my money down on a pair of 10x42 Swarovski EL's. I just don't know of any glass out there that is better. The Leica Geovid would be a close 2nd because of the built in rangefinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Colorado Bob Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Re: Which Binocs? I got a pair of Leica 7x40. Plan on using them this elk season. I wish I'd had them several years ago on my sheep hunt. Nothing like GOOD glass. CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rifleman25 Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Re: Which Binocs? I have the swaro El's. Under the advice of Steve Beilgard and the things he said about my Burris glasses last season I shelled out the cash. If you haven't looked through a pair of swaro, zeiss, or leica's you haven't looked through anything. They are a night and day difference from my burris glasses. I plan to but a swaro spotting scope for next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasDeerHunter Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Re: Which Binocs? Leica or Zeiss..........The Leica binos are awesome but cost as much as a vehicle. The Zeiss classics are more economical and pretty darn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PAT_PATTERSON Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Re: Which Binocs? Swarovski are probably the best I have looked through in awhile, Zeiss, true Zeiss(german glasses) are unbelievable also. What they sell for US glass is not the same grade. This would all depend on what I was using them for, glassing out west I would go with the Swarovski, here in Florida or where I hunt my choice is the Nikon Monarchs.

Guest Broncho10 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Re: Which Binocs? I am surprised no one mentioned the Leupold Gold Rings. I would like to get the Leica Geovid's, b/c of the rangefinder/binoc in one. I just don't know how much quality I would be giving up while passing on the Swarvoski EL's. It's a hard choice when you are talking about buying a pair of glasses that you want to last a lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig mack Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Re: Which Binocs? I would get Swarvoski. I have Wind River (Leuopold) Olympics and like them alot. They are very nice and they're affordable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Zeiss 10x42 FL's are the brightest sharpest Binos out there right now. Zeiss put flouride in the lenses to increase light transmission sharpness & defenition. I looked through a pair at the local hardware store about 9 pm one evening. They were incredible! http://www.binoculars.com/products/zeiss-10x42-fl-t-wpouch-black-29234.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
