OPTICS...Whats yours?

[trophyhunter]

I used the Nikon Monarch 8x42s for years. Great optic at a great price.

Then, I found myself wanting a pair of "ranging binos". I got tired of carrying a rangefinder and a pair of binos. To save money, I spent $899 on the new Bushnell set. They were JUNK!!! In fact, I put them back in the box and used my Nikons while on Colorado.

I'm now on my 2nd pair of Leica Geovids after upgrading to the newest version. Love them and worth every penny.

Binos
Redfield 10x42 Rebel
Minox BV 8x25

Rangefinder
Redfield 600a

If I need higher end optics for hunting places where I might have a shot over 200 yards, I will rent them.

Swaro 10x42 el range and Ziess 10x40's

NOTE: The zeiss classics on the far right were given to me in 1991 this year will be the first year I won't use them. I have decided to shelf (retire) them.

If you ever decide to get rid of those Zeiss let me know. For their age the quality of glass in those are hard to beat

Bushnell and Vortex for me

Leica 8x50 Trinovid - IMO the perfect stand hunting bowhunters binocular. Huge exit
pupil - superb light gathering. 99% of people who look through them say the same thing "Wow" I say stand hunter's bino because they are heavy - I'm not sure I would want to hike up and down mountains all day with them even in a harness

It's the one thing lacking in my quiver and to be honest I just don't spend that much time behind the glass to warrant the purchase. I don't yet hunt out west or guide, mostly stand hunting with my bow blinds being very limited visually. I have a 10-22 zoom Nikon and aN 8x42 Nikon along with a Leica 1600 range finder.

Two Huskemaw's, a 1-4 millet and a vx-6 Luepold round it out for the rifles.

A quality 8 or 10 X 42 for all around use has been on my mind. I guess just like the way I bought my safe, the next time I look to buy another gun, buy new glass.

Nikon everything. Scopes, binoculars, cameras, and rangefinders.

Finally splurged on a pair of Swarovski EL 10X42's this year. It was tough to spend that much coin, but well worth the investment when I look through the glass.

Swaro 10x42 EL. Got a pretty good deal on them a couple years ago. Glad I bought them!!

Vortex binoculars and nikon rangefinder.

I guess I'm just old school. Been using the same bushnells for 30 years
