Looking for Binocular Advice

[Mojo73]

I recently was able to use a set of 10x42 HD Huskemaw binos for about ten days. All I can say is wow. I was very impressed. I used them side by side with my 10x42 Leicas and I may actually like them a little better. They are slightly more compact and were a better ergonomic fit for me. Having said that I'm not selling my liecas to buy the huskemaws but if I lost the liecas I would buy the huskemaws in a heartbeat rather than spent the thousand plus dollars difference. They have an msrp of $1199 but you may be able to shop around and find them close to your $1000 mark. I think you would have to spend over $2000 to match them.

I went with the used swaro way, picked up a pair of EL 10x42's, excellent shape for $1150, I still have my Leupold 10x42 gold rings that are now going to be used by my son. Side by side not much can touch swaro!

Swaro binos are really good.

I'd take a serious look at the Kahles pair. My mom has a set and won't let any else touch them - including dad, lol.

Used EL's or Victory HT's are probably the best for the money...New, Meopta HD, Minox (German), are pretty **** good too for the money. Zen Ray ED2 or ED3, at less than $400, might be the best buy of all....
