[QUOTE="Nate Haler, post: 51818, member: 315"] There's a lot of room between megabuck binoculars and the bargain basement types. Value-wise, there are some OUTSTANDING deals to be had in many of the Japanese-made binoculars. Nikon's Venturer LX binocular is regarded by many to be the best there is. Bar none. And you can get it for $850 (U.S.) through a variety of mail-order places. Want a glass that is almost as good, at half the cost? Try the Pentax DCF WP. For an expert's opinon on all sorts of binos and spotting scopes, see here: [url="http://betterviewdesired.com/"]http://betterviewdesired.com/[/url] If you are a value shopper, you will be pleasantly surprised at how good many of the binoculars are for WAY under a kilobuck. Most folks can't tell the difference optically between a $400 glass and a $1,200 glass. If the Swarovski hawk emblem makes your chest stick out and helps you hunt better, then have at it. But if you want to spend that extra hard-earned cash on handloads, vehicle fuel, lodging, or another rifle (like a Sendero), then there's definitely some alternatives out there that shouldn't embarrass anybody to wear around their neck or set on a tripod.
