What's up, guys?
I'm interested in picking up a good pair of binoculars at a reasonable price.
If you have a decent pair you aren't using, lemme know!
Cheers,
Alex

Just bought a KILLER pair 2 or 3 weeks ago.
Long story short:

You WILL NOT be disappointed!

That does look like a good deal. I was thinking something in the $75-$150 range would be workable.

It is indeed.
I'm not in any hurry, so I'm gonna let this post ride for a bit before a I buy anything.
Maybe someone has a good used pair sitting around...
I might rather pay $200 for a used pair of $500 binos than pay $149 for a new pair valued around $200.

I have a pair of these. I like em.

$137 for a $369 pair... That might be harder to pass up.

Ooooo.... Now we're talking.

Ive got the vortex diamondbacks they feel like 1000$ binoculars. For 200$ they are the best deal by far. I did my research.

Jude - Do you have the 10x42 or the 8x42?
-
I have a pair of Nikon aculon 8-24x25. They are pretty nice. I mostly got them for bow hunting which they are great cause they are super compact but they have the zoom feature if needed. Handy when you are staring at a buck 30 yards away in the brush trying to pick out the difference between a fork or branches. I am always surprised how much I use my binoculars at 150 yd or less. For much longer range viewing a bigger pair is definitely better and more comfy to lookthru but then the are bigger and heavier to carry

I totally agree, though I prefer the 8x42 for the wider field of view and the bigger exit pupil (better in low-light).
There was an article in Field and Stream at least 8 years ago that did a very exhaustive test of binoculars, simulating wet, freezing, and low-light conditions. The Nikon Monarch 8x42 (and 10x42) were among the best performers, with the lower price point.
I also recommend an upgrade of Butler Creek scope covers for the objective lenses - way better and easier to use than the stock protective covers.

Looks like a new Diamondback model has come out for 2016. So there are some great closeout deals on the old model at $140.

I looked through a lot of binos and I'm tellin ya, those Vortex crossfires blow away a lot of the higher priced binos. I have NO regrets at all.
-
Vortex does good glass at a good price.

Thanks, guys. Looks like I can't go wrong with a Vortex or Monarch.

Ok Tote bought a pair for the wife. Looking forward to getting them!
