I am shopping for new binoculars for hunting. I am hunting in more open country and spending more time behind the glass. My old binos and eyes are telling the tale on the inexpensive pair I have been using. They will be 10x42-50. Thanks for suggestions my binoculars are 30 yes old

Thanks

I really like my Kowa genesis. My hunting buddy said he loved his vortex until he used mine. His are vipers and not the top vortex. Scopelist has some nice binocs under 1000.00 now, including razors.. You'll need a deal to get the near alpha binocs under 1000.00.
I know some birders who like the vanguards EDs which are way under that.

I understand what you are saying. For many years my binoculars came off the sale shelf or cheap rack at any or all sporting goods stores. They worked, kind of. The glass was never great, view not always so clear. They never did last long, drop them once and they were done for, fogging up was not unusual. As I got older and vision started to not be as sharp as it once was I decided to shop around and see what I could find. Most of my older binoculars were 8 x 42 or 10 x 42. Then I tried a friends 12 x 50's and what a difference. I now have a pair of Vortex Viper HD 12 x 50 binoculars that have a lifetime warranty. Unlike the others that found their way into the trash can simply send them back to Vortex for either repair or replacement. Glass is crystal clear and at $819.00 didn't break the bank.

Viper HD 12x50

Viper HD binoculars are an optical masterpiece, giving hunters, shooters and outdoor enthusiasts a premium option without the premium price tag.

I ended up buying a pair of Leica Trinovid HD 10x42. Cabela's/BassPro has them for $799 and list is $999. If you are a veteran, you qualify for Guidefitter pricing which is a little less.

Nikon monarch are very good for the money. And you would still have 500 in your wallet!

one other word of advice.

Buy Once and Cry Once! Buy the best you can in your MAX budget. It's not worth skimping!

Don't buy a bino your own eyes have not compared to all others in your mix.
