Compact camo binocs

[olejake]

In the market for new compact binoculars ( not the thousand dollar kind) ...what is the best bang for the buck these days?  Got a set of nice  Leupolds but just way too heavy..any input?

I bought a pair of the Nikon eagleviews in mossy oak I really like them they have adjustable power really brings things in

Bushnell Legend 10X26 is what I use but the stuff from Vortex and Nikon are really good.

I've got a pair of Bushnell Legend's also that are really clear.  They are 10X42's though.  I have them on the Crooked Horn Straps that hold them tight to my chest and I don't even know their there until I reach for them.  These Legends will run about $250.  Best of Luck with your search.

I have a pair of Nikon 10x50 they're not exactly compact or light but I have a bino system strap that goes on the shoulders instead of the neck so weight isn't the problem they were about $200 new when I got them a few years ago.

I dropped my compacts years ago and a cow stepped on them, so now I have a monocular and a backup and it is light and perfect for checking out field blobs and woods roads.

I picked up a pair of Nikons from wally world for like $80 that I like.  My next pair will be Vortex.

Vortex and Vanguard both make good binocs worth the money and the lower end quality is good.

I've used Pentax binocs and liked them.  I am curious about the 8x21 and 8x25 units its has available now, and the price is pretty low too.

Not sure what you are after, but I down sized the binoculars I usually bring out hunting last year IN AN ATTEMPT to reduce my overall weight in all my hunting vests. I saved over half the weight by going with the monocular. I got the 8x36 Vortex Solo Monoculars, very light, very clear, and very handy in all applications I've used it for over the last year. Check them out...

The weight adds up, and these monoculars are also very high quality. Can't go wrong in my opinion. On was on the quest last year to lighten my vests, as my deer hunting vest in particular was so over loaded my neck and back hurt after wearing it. This, along with several other lightening upgrades, left my vests lighter, almost enjoyable to wear again!

Thanks to all for the input...I was unaware of Vortex....purchasing the Diamondback 10 x 32...not the smallest, but loooked like the best bang for the bucks..and yet smaller and lighter than the current Leupolds I hunt with..OpticsPlanet has 'em on sale at 199 with free ship...

I've got the Vortex Diamondback 10x42.  I really like them and they have a lifetime warranty that can't be beat.

Yeah, wish they had made 'em in camo, but the green looked close enough..did a lot of research past 4 days..for the $$ couldnt be beat..water/fog proof...believe I will be happy
