[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1969130, member: 11960"] That statement is true, but it also discourages shooters with a specific budget from getting into the sport. A decent pair of $200 binoculars will work just fine for the average hunter in most situations. For me personally, I'm purely a meat hunter. If I can properly identify a deer or elk as a legal animal, then the bino's have done their job. If you're trying to gauge trophy quality then the higher resolution of the more expensive optics makes sense. There's a time and a place for top quality equipment and some folks just aren't in a position where they want or need to spend $1000+ on that gear. I've had a Terrapin LRF for about 6 years now, but typically carry a much less expensive Leupold LRF when I'm hunting just because I don't need to range to 2500 yards while I'm out there. Likewise, I'm comfortable leaving a pair of the Nikon ATB binos in the back seat of my truck so they're always there. I'd never leave the Leica's back there for months on end! Same goes for scopes, rifles, cars/trucks, and all other gear. Buy the best gear you can comfortably afford and just take good care of it. I'm not going into debt just for a hobby. [/QUOTE]
