Best Optics for Lowest possible price

[newazhunter]

I'm looking for a good pair of binocs for deer hunting next month. I don't want to spend a lot of money at all. I'm guessing that $300 is the norm for a decent pair but would like to spend $100 or less if possible. Any suggestions, or anyone have a used pair they are looking to get rid of?

Thank you much

Cheap binoculars are worthless to me. During low light you won't be able to see anything.

Vortex Sidewinders are the best deal for the money.

8X42=$189.99 to your door
10X42=$199.99 to your door

These binos are asgood or better than anything I have found for $300.00

Plus they have a lifetime, transferable warranty.

I have Nikon Monarchs and love them. They are 8X42's. I personally haven't looked through the Vortex but I keep reading good things about them.
Here's a link to a site with good prices on Nikons and a couple other brands:

What kind of distances will you be using the glass on? If $100 is your absolute upper limit, see if you can check out a pair of Barska Atlantic 10x42 roof prisms. They're heavy, but they're not too bad, and I've seen them for around fifty bucks.
