Default What Binoculars to get
What other brands of binoculars are of good quality besides Leupold and Nikon?

I am going to need to purchase a pair for a Colorado elk hunt.

I would like to keep the price range around $200.

www.eagleoptics.com Anywhere from a 8x30- 8x42 would be fine depends on how much you can carry comfortably. Some like the Crooked horn Bino systems for heavier binos. Swift,Bushnell,Pentax are other good makes..there are lots more now then even 3 years ago. You will never complain about good optics but will curse bad optics so spend more money if possible. search for a dollar range and you will get a pretty good range of binos on that website

Man, I'm still using a US Navy "Bushnell" 7X50 that my old man brought back from the Normandy Invasion!

Vortex binoculars are getting good reviews. Check out Birdforum and better view desired. They have some pretty good information.

Vortex are excellent for the money and have a fantastic warranty just like Leupold scopes. Lifetime no hassles. I have a pair of 8x42 Vipers and love them.

I have a pair of Steiner Military Marine that are tough as nails. 8X32 you don't have to focus them(like a scope). You can find them for under $200.
