I have been seriously considering getting a pair of compact binoculars for hunting. I already have a pair of Luepold 10 x 42, but want a pair easier to pack for bowhunting and my black bear hunt next year. I looked at the Steiner compact- predator pro's and the Nikon's and they were ok. Then I looked at the Swarovski compacts 8 x 20's and was blown away. THE CLARITY WAS INCREDIBLE. But the price was $600.00. Not that they aren't worth every penny, but I'm not sure if I can swing that much.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a pair of compacts that are close to the Swarovski clarity at a price around $400 ???
