Need new binos! Suggestions?

[LuBowhunter]

I need to replace my current binos because after 10 years they finally kicked the bucket and Nikon won't fix them. Due to the fact that the serial number sticker is gone and I don't have it to give them. Currently I have a set of Nikon Buckmaster 10x36. Looking for something comparable that doesn't break the bank (under $350). Any suggestions?

Alpen Optics and they have a special web sale right now. For your budget, I recommend the Apex line.

I promise you will not be disappointed. They also have a life time no questions asked warrenty.

I have some Vortex Diamondback 10x42 that I really like. I have heard good things about Occulus (Bass Pro Shop) as well. A buddy of mine who is a guide uses those and loves them.

Like my 10x42 Leupold Acadias (US made), for under $200.

That's a great recommendation and a great price. I've never been disappointed in Alpen quality or service.

Nikon's Monarch 5's are awfully good for the $ too.

Are you wanting to stay with the mid-size binoc, or a larger 10x42?

Bar-none, the best deal on midsized binocs (by a longshot) is the Sightron Blue Sky II 8x32's for around $180. They are spectacular glass worth 3 or 4x what they cost. I have owned all the big three, and I still won't part with my little Sightrons. They are my go-to bowhunting binocs.

Vortex their great. Had many binos and they are hard to beat unless you double the price.

I was a Steiner guy for many years. I am accustomed to the winged eye cup that Steiner has. Just got the Voretx a week ago and ordered some winged eye cups to block out the side light. They are awesome

Don't skimp on bino's. Good glass should be priority # 1 in your hunting pack

If Cabelas still has any, jump on the Vortex Diamondback 8.5x50's. They are discontinuing them, and have them at a smoking deal. These things will flat gather light!
