Title: WTB good binos
Post by: Onpoint on March 01, 2014, 12:27:54 AM
I'm tired of cheap binos. I buy a $100 pair of Nixon every other year and I'm bout fed up with it. If I can find the right deal on some decent glass I might just get me a good pair.

Thanks
Justin

Check out vortex optics.... Very clear optics they have all price ranges covered and a life time no fault warranty.... Run over them drop out of tree stand send em in and send you a new pair no questions asked. Had mine for 5 years and love them. My buddy had a pair dropped them from tree stand and sent them in... 4 days later brand new pair

  F@&k nikon pal, excuse me there! I've had thee worst experience with their warranty. I bought leupolds, like them, but bushnell has a top notch warranty and makes good products. Nikon gave me some Mickey Mouse crap to replace the pair I sent them. They cost me $300 when I bought them, I looked up the pair they replaced those with and they sell for $99 and are all plastic and just feel cheap! My buddy sent in his bushnell binocs and they sent him the next best pair because they discontinued his original pair. That's customer service in my book, I've heard similar good stories about leupold too.

VanGuard. Durable, clear, waterproof, and hard to beat for the price.

Ditto on Vanguard, I have had a few different pairs in my hand and they compare well against all the others, I posted this link earlier as it had good info on several but put Vanguards at the top of the list
