$1000 Binocular

[xnader]

Hunting all species in AZ looking for a good do it all 12x50 bino. I am not brand loyal, and really could spend up to $1200. Looking for reccomendations from someone who has tried a few! Thanks!

• Tough aluminum eyecup tubes

• PASSIONdrop™ hydrophobic coating

Please give us a call, 516-217-1000, to discuss opportunities, thanks

Broken record here but in the $1k class, the Zeiss Conquest HD's are tops, followed closely by the Meostars, Nikon HG's, Leica Trinovids and then the Razors. I've owned all of those (multiple pairs of some models) and that's how I rank them. All I use now are Conquest HD's.

He's asking about a 12x not a 10x

 

[Newtosavage]

You are correct. I'd still take a pair of 10x42 Conquest HD's over any other 12x in the $1k range, but if the OP is set on 12's, then I'd go Meostars without a doubt, followed by the Razors.

Maven B6? I have quite a bit of their glass and it's hard to beat other than the top tier (EL/NL, Noctovid, SF lines) from the Big 3.

I would look at the latest backwoods pursuit review of bino's... https://backwoodspursuit.com/26-best-binoculars-for-hunting/ The GPO get a really good review. But again this is 10x42 which I would hope reflect on their other glass as well.

If you are military/LEO I think Meopta has a good discount. Great glass too.

Dont overlook Kowa 10.5x44 Genesis. Very good glass in that price range

Second vote for Zeiss Conquest 10x42

GPO (from Doug) or Maven B6

I love my 12x NL's though.

Over budget, but there’s a Set of el's in the classifieds for 1550.

I recently bought some 12x50 BX-4s on here that are wonderful to me for well under $1K. Maybe look at the 12x50 BX-5 Santiam, supposedly better than BX-4, but I have no experience with them.
