Help/info with 80- 100mm binos

[dave1]

I recently bought a spotting scope. this is only good for looking at detail. at least the way im hunting. I need info about types of binos to use when picking out deer at long distances in thick and open areas. I have been looking at oberwerk, celestron, konus,zhumell. I am looking at the 80mm to 100mm objective, around 20 or more power. im not yet sure rather i want a fixed power or varible. i need some help/ info . everyone who hunts long range have had or used these types before please help!
thanks everyone!

Are you looking for the "big eyes" type of glass? If so, check out Bruce Baer at Baer custom rifles. I got a chance to look through a pair of this type of glass at the IBS 1K Nationals in Ohio. I don't even know if they were his, or even made by him....but they truly are AWSOME!!!

Good Luck

well i am looking for a decent pair of binos for looking for deer at long distances and those above names i have considered.??

I don't know of anyone making binos with objective lenses that big. But, like I have said before......I dont get out much. The "big eye" type are simply two spotting scopes mated together. Although, I suspect it isn't "simple".

I have only looked through a couple pair if high power binocs; one made by Zeiss (I don't recall the objective size), and were a fixed 20x with the lenses that are suspended by spinning them in oil. (You can hold them up like a normal pair of glasses and they don't shake). The other pair was made by Vixen, and were made for looking at stars. They had a 125 mm objective, were VERY clear, and of course were about $4k. I guess you get what you pay for.

The Doctor's are the best if you really want something in that range..
