Post by 2004arron » 14 Oct 2013, 01:28

Hay. im looking for a half decent set of binoculars for stalking at a reasonable price.

does anyone recommend anything. I'm interested in the leupold bx-1(8x50), they seem to be at reasonable money.

Thanks

I have a pair of Hawke Frontier ED's in 10x43. Absolutely fantastic glass, I have tried them against the equivalent Lieca's and te only difference in performance was 5 mins at each end of the day. All for 1/4 the price of the lieca's

Sightron ones are bloody good for just under £500

Or Vortex Viper at £550


Don't buy Leupold, over rated over priced rubbish
Land Rovers, who would be daft enough to own one?

What's your budget and how much stalking do you do? Is it Fallow which pop out at the last minute as the light fades? Or just general?
Zeiss and swaro are top end and best of the best. Mid range look at Meopta, forester,
We all have our favourites.
I had a pair of Steiners and replaced them with the foresters because I could see later into the dusk.
