Need a light weight compact bino with good performance. $$$ is somewhat an issue, but $300 +/- is doable. There will be used for hunting ... Thanks

I have compared them to some upper end 8x42 binos and I gotta tell you there is a lot of bang for your buck here and you are not giving up much in performance. They have replaced for the most part 99% of my day to day optics needs wants and desires. |
For a true compacts, I've used the 8x25 Nikon Travelite's for quite some time. For what they are and the price range they are in... they are super. Super light, very clear and crisp, easy to use. I have a nicer set of full size, but I rarely grab them due to size/weight.
If you are stepping up to a mid-size (like 32's) I would consider the Sightron SII Blue Sky 8x32. Check Optics planet, they usually have good pricing. |
Hi! I recommend ATN BINOX-HD 4-16X (http://www.atncorp.com/smart-hd-binocular). This binocular can be used day and night, has a built-in camera, Wi-Fi and much more. I've been using this device for two months. I am pleased.

I have a pair of Steiner Merlin 8x32. I've had them for about 10 years. Absolutely incredible bino's

Wound up going with a Steiner "Predator". Main reasons were there were several good reviews, price range, I wanted something easy to carry and I had a store credit. The binos arrived yesterday. I was pleased with the quality of the view and surprised at the low light performance. Now if they will hold up under field conditions.
Thanks for all the advice. Very much appreciated. |
congrats. hope they serve you well. let us know

I was lookin at Swarovski CL Pocket 10x25 Binoculars Green but it's heavy on the price...this Steiner looks like a good deal...are you happy with it?

Leopold Rogue
I see you already made a purchase and Steiner makes great products. Leopold Rogue binoculars are very nice,clear,waterproof,and lifetime warranty. Can be picked up around $100 and are very nice for the $.

and a 65 mm objective isn't a very compact pair of bino's either LOL cool idea have a all in one deal but I woul;dn't trust them on a COLD long hunt Yrs back I had the Swarovski LRS range finding scope(almost 4 grand back in the 90';s) and it too had low battery power is Alberta's cold weather, was WAY too heavy, and sat so high on a gun, I have to have a custom stock built gadgets they turn out to be more than tools! |
