$1000 binocular suggestions

[Patton243]

Vortex Razor. Enough said. I have the UHD's which are even better and they're top quality and they have good field of view too. The only negative I will say about them is the external coverings sometimes peel off. Other then that you can't beat them for a little over 1k.

Maven B.2 11x45 and 9x45 have been awesome all around binos for me. I'd sell you the 11x45's for a good deal if interested, for well below $1000

if buying here make sure your careful and buy from someone with a trading history!!! Call Doug at CameralandNY. @gr8fuldoug will take very good care of you.

Camera land is great to deal with and will match price. Zeiss conquest for 699.0 is a no brainer

I use Leica and right now there's alot of sales going on for Leica, Zeiss and some others. Look around, you will find something you like in your price range.

Would have to agree.

I've been using Canon 12x image stabilizers for about 12 years….the stabilizer reduces bino fatigue and greatly increases your ability to spot game…

Used Swarovski. Put out a wanted add.
I posted a wanted add in a hunting forum (for daughters fiancé) and I had many responses. He ended up with EL Range for $1800. Could not pass up. He had offers for several 10x40 SLC at $1000, +/-

$750.00 for demo 10×42 Leica Trinavids. Great glass!

I love my Steiner's. Have used them for over 20 years and longer if you count my military time.

I'm a huge Zeiss fan and Swarovski is also a great choice.

If you decide to got a little cheaper you get a huge value in Minox and their high end stuff is pretty darn good. I have a pair of 15x56 Minox binoculars that are startlingly clear for the money.

Most of my binoculars are Zeiss though and although all the truly high end optics stuff is very good, it's really what your particular eyes like. I always found the color resolution in Swarovski to be a bit off and kind of yellowish. That may be better in their newer offerings and, of course, that is totally subjective.

The Zeiss binoculars have great color resolution and for my old eyes that is critical in picking out game from backgrounds that may be the about the same color especially in low light.

I hadn't heard of the Swarovski NL Pure line but here's a review. They're a bit out of my price range....

If you buy them currently at their 75th anniversary sale you absolutely won't regret it. Nothing can beat their glass.

I had unfortuneately gone the opposite way and started from cheap $100-$500 then to mid grade $500-$1000 then to expensive $1000-$2000 then finally all of my NL Pures just this year since mid May and the rest in June/July and the last one just last week. Honestly should have not wasted all the ridiculous amounts of money on everything lesser prior.

I did the same. Went from Pentex to Leupold, and finally decided to spend the money once. Drove a couple hours to Cabelas, compared everything they had. They were nice enough to let me take them all outside, with an escort of course. I bought Leica Ultravids and have never regretted it.

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

Look at the Sig 3000 bdx range finder binoculars mine are 10x42 3 years old and well used , still crystal clear. Reflective range 3200 yards I've ranged elk at 1400 and coyotes at 1100 yards . If you are a veteran you can get them under 1000$ . Absolutely love them

Maven b.6, or a b1.2 if you want a little more compact.

I can second this. I have the B.6 in 12x50, they're great. If you're wanting 10x I'd go with the b1.2, they're more compact, about 4 oz lighter, and a little cheaper
