Binoculars...Who uses what?

[bigwhiteys]

Swarovski 8x30's. Hand me downs from my dads guiding days. Sent them to Swaro last year complaining of the lenses fogging up and they rebuilt, resealed and recharged them for me. No questions asked. No charge.

Nikon monarch atb's in 10x42. Excellant bino's for 300.00 off ebay.
Only downfall is the lense cap's

I use Nikon 10x35 Action II and an old pair of Karl Mueller 10x50's plus a cheap pair of Bushnell compacts that I keep in the glovebox all the time.

Just as an aside, I also have a pair of 15x70 astronomical binos that really need a camera tripod to use without shaking. Now if you really want to get a great wideangle closeup view they're the way to go.

I'm due and I've been looking.

Has anyone ever looked through the really good Steiners, Peregrines I think?? I hear they are comparable to the Swaros for half the price.

I checked these out at Cabellas in Winnipeg just a short while ago. The salesperson said, they would prefer not to sell them to me. They get too many of them back. IE warranty. That surprised hell out of me.

They put me onto other manufactures. Not that I believe everthing a salesperson says.

Leupold Gold Ring 8x42 HD. Great glass and warranty. Back up is a B&L Discovers 10x42.

Leica 10x42 Ultravid HD's.

Just got them in January so I haven't used them much. The use I have given them has thoroughly impressed me so far, so much that I forgot how much I spent on them....

I hunt sheep and elk all in the high country, so lots of long distance glassing for hours on end.

up til now, I used Bushnell Legend 10x with good success as well. Nothing wrong with them at all.

[Gateholio]

Leica 10x42 Ultravids...Love them.

Next pair woudl probably be a Duovid with the built in LRF

Or maybe a good set of 8X..

My "truck binos" that Ileave in my truck all the time are B&L Discoverers.,
