Binoculars

[westernhunter98]

I am wondering what the best binoculars are for $300 I am thinking the vortex diamondbacks but I am wondering what your guys thoughts are on the best pair are, I live in Nevada and I will be hunting mule deer and elk in the high-country

Nikon monarch 5 or for $100 the Leupold yosemite 8x30 are great.

Get 10x42's. The diamond backs are a solid choice but if you can get onto the talon hd's you'll really be set up. Optics planet has them on sale and free shipping, perhaps you can find a used pair if your not in a hurry. Binos are and investment and can make the difference on a hunt. Get an bino harness and ditch the neck strap.

Used should be fine if no scratches on the glass. Buying new will get you less optics for your $$$. Get educated on what binos should cost then hit pawn shops, Craigs list, etc. Now, long before hunting season, is when the bargains can be found.

I'd suggest you take a gander at Theron's offerings and get in touch with schmalts.

Vanguard endeavor Ed 10x42 is a great option for the money. I would say they're comparable to binoculars in the 5 to 7 hundred dollar range

I would look into Alpen Optics to be honest. Vortex are nice also. But I think Alpen are a hidden gem not many people talk about.

My personal binoculars right now are the ZenRay Prime HD's. Just a tad over $600 and very comparable to the $1,500+ binoculars from Swaro, Ziess, Leica, etc.

Couldn't agree more!

Which ever binoculars you decide to go with, I recommend getting a tripod adapter for them. Staring through your binos for hours at a time will be much easier!

To many people don't understand the value of a tri pod, even with cheap binos. With a tri pod You will find more animals than most hunters. I can't say it enough. only trying to help others. Come out with me 1 time and see how many more animal You find................BOB!

I looked through some Minox binos the other day and was really impressed considering the price. I have a pair of Leupold Pinnacle 10x50's and I thought the Minox was as good or better glass for less than half the price.

I'd also try some of the new reasonably priced Zeiss binos if I was in the market.

Burris has since discontinued this line, but I've been very happy with these.
