RE: Buying Binocs
I am a big fan of Nikon optics. I have Nikon scopes on all my rifles and I have a pair of Nikon Travelite 12x binocs and I love them! Nikon's clarity rivals leopold with a cheaper price tag. The only thing I don't like about my Travelite binocs is that they don't gather enough light during dawn and dusk, but the the other features like being light and easy to handle more than make up for this. All in all, I think that the travelites are the best $120 I have spent on hunting equipment.
