Looking at getting a pair but not breaking the bank on them. Anyone have a pair they like for a reasonable price.

Looking at getting a pair but not breaking the bank on them. Anyone have a pair they like for a reasonable price.
Take a look at Vortex. I bought a pair a few years ago. They have a great warranty, excellent optics and won't break you. The reviews I read were all good as well. I really like mine.
I don't use any, maybe I should but I don't.... so can't help you there...:silly:
good luck with your search...
....double post
I'm similar to Fratri. I have a pair of Nikon compact that usually sit in my backpack or sometimes beside me. I tend to use the Nikon rangefinder as a binos.
I have vortex 8x42mm.
Awesome binos. I use them for coyote hunting.....
I can see farther and clearer with these Vortex binos over my 12x40mm Bushnells (cheaper glass)
Nikon Monarch in 10x42 are my favourite, they will run you around $300. The Nikon one step down will save you about $100 and you won't notice much difference.
Thanks guys. I'm in the US and they got some good deals on for Black Friday so I'll check the ones posted out. They got a Simmons 8x42 and range finder combo with case for $100.
Range Finder, but I always carry a set of bino, compass, 24hrs rations...ect...too much at times. Make sure they are light weight, you will understand after hanging them around neck for a while.
I think you will be disappointed with that package deal.Quote:
