Newbie: Suggestions for first binoculars?

Have decided to buy the 8.5x50 binos Sarvo has recommended.
Using the remaining gift $ to get a bushbuck bino case & harness plus a SNDWAY 1000m range finder from aliexpress. New boys toys :-)

Not for me. Have already told Sarvo I'll buy his Forest II

I have been looking for really good binoculars for a long time and finally, have chosen Nikon Prostaff 5 8×42. In fact, I didn't want to buy it from the very beginning of my search, but since some time I've found the review(https://opticzoo.com/nikon-prostaff-5-8x42-review/) and decided that this is definitely the one that I need!

I'd been tempted by the Nikon Prostaff too! Particularly as I've got the Nikon Monarch 5 scope and its awesome. My decision to go with the Delta Opticals from @Sarvo is based on good reviews and my trust in knowledgible people. Small delay shipping them but that's fine with me.
Funny thing is my SNDWAY 1000m range finder has arrived from aliexpress and it's optics is better than the 7x35 unbranded binos I'm using now! The new binos will be awesome!

hi guys, sorry for the bump but i've picked up some great info from this thread, so thanks.

Sarvo, i'm wondering if you have any delta binos that you are looking to sell? Seems like they would be a bino that would suit me well. 8.5x50 could be a goer i think, although i won't be up in the high country so much. Let me know.

Cheers
