Yeah I've heard some good things about Nikon Monarch and Pentax Hr 2..and Bushnell Legonds..My budddies use them...They well work for them..All are Very bright Fully multi coated..Phase Coated..Waterproof ..great eye-relief and focus is awsome They've got everything a hunter can ask for ..
But to show them how far off of allignment they were I set up a target ..With the binoculars in a fixed position (STABLED)And one objective lens covered I had them look at the bulls eye then repeat the procedure..Covering up the other objective lens and looking through....Each binowas off both horz and vertically by lots..
If all one is doing is looking at game that has been spotted by the naked eye it will work..This is 90% of the hunting anyways..
One will notice it when they start to glass in terrain that looks barren and you have to concentrate hard to find game..
Eye strain will happen and headaches will occur in a matter of little time..
If money is tight and I needed a binocular for hunting.. depending on how I findgame I'd give Porros some thought.A hunter can glass
a long time with a good set of Porro Bino's and all those features
like Waterproof..Fully Multicoated..Rainguard Armorcoated etc.
are offered in these as well..The Image is brighter and clearer in a Porro and Depth of field is greater ..
I do hunt with Roof Prism Bino's but I spent 3 yrs saving money until I could afford to buy a quality pair...
If I didn't have the option of "borrowing" I would have got the
Porros a long time ago..
But since I've bought mine I havn't seen them around much...They are always being used by my family members...They have been around the world .. Which is cool..
