Default Binoculars..I need some

Guys I'm in the market for some good (not extremely high priced) binoculars. I'm looking for them more specifically for 3d. Give me some opinions.

Vortex makes some decent binocs, I'll more than likely get a pair of these for my next.....I like Nikons as well. I suggest going to a major store such as Gander Mtn or Bass Pro, where they have 50+ on display....find one you like then shop around online for better pricing.

That sounds like a pretty good idea, I want some that I can get through the shop. I'd love to find some Leupolds or some Alpen's that I like.

In my opinion Leupolds are no where near as good as Nikons. I have a pair of Leupolds and my dad just got a pair of Nikon Monarchs for x-mas and his Nikons are so clear I was watching deer out my window and could see them blink from about 80 yards away. They are amazing, but run around $350 i think.

Monarch ATBs 10x36...perfect size/weight for carrying (3D), and very clear. Nikon makes quality glass (look at their SLRs) and they're quite affordable.

Optilogic has some of the best 3-d binos I have ever seen and I have looked through some that cost over a $1000 and it would be almost impossible to find better in that price range.

I am not sure but I believe leupold might make them.

If those are more than you want to spend,I did see a real decent pair of Leupold's at D icks that I glassd some target with and they were very nice for around a 100 bucks.

Just make sure you get a pair that are legal for your venue,ASA doesn't care what power you use but Ibo has an 8.5 power limit.
