johnf Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 If you had $200 to blow on a pair of hunting binos what would you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Would probably fall a little short for the nikon monarchs, but that would be my first choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted January 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 There's a pair on ebay NIB for $199 including shipping. 10x36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Vortex has some quality bino's at decent prices. I know I'm on their staff, and it looks like i'm just plugging their product, but I was using their binos, and loved then, which is why I applied for a position. I use an earlier model of these, and they hold their own against binos twice their price. I have surprised a lot of people with more expensive bino's when they compared side by side. Here is a link to them.... http://www.jayhawkoptics.com/vortex-diamondback-8x42-p-71.html Plus, they are a US based company, and their unlimited, no questions asked, transferable warrany is hard to beat.

Guest TennesseeTurkey Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I just got these for my birthday and these are great! 10x50's too! http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_101393_425001004_425000000_425001000_425-1-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m gardner Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Look at the Pentax DCF binos. No matter which you choose I'd want an 8 power of some description for deer hunting. The 10's are most useful for open country. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 My plan is an 8 or 10x42, probably 8. The longest possible shot that I have for hunting is about 300 yards, but that's a serious stretch. The vast majority of my shots will be well under 100 yards. I want something that I can clearly discern between limbs and horns in low light through the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
