Thread: Budget pair of binos

Looking for a "budget"($200-400) pair of binos. This will be my first pair, so unsure what to look for. I imagine it'll vary between people as to what is considered it good for the money, but any opinions? I see Nikon, Bushnell and Vortex all have offerings within that range. Will be mainly used in open paddocks(if that makes a difference)?

Vortex Diamond back HD are at the upper end of your budget and you wont get a better bino new for anywhere near that money

I would get the Delta Forest 10 x50 from Sarvo on here

Not %100 but I think my stiener safari's fell within that price range. Really good love them

@Moa Hunter, have you got a pair? What's your thoughts?

I have organized two pairs for friends. When compared to my Swaro EL's they are about 90% + as good in image quality. They do need more focus adjustment when changing focus distances than the Swaros, but if you have a working index finger thats no big deal

Contact @Sarvo and get some Delta Optical binos. I've got the 8.5x50 Forest II and they seem great. Have been told they perform like $700+ binos so awesome performance and middle of your budget

I picked up a pair Minox 8x25s from Gun City for $149. Have to say quite impressed for the value. I normally have/use higher end optics.
