After her hunt this fall, my 13 year old daughter said she really wanted her own binoculars as she got tired of borrowing others - as a dad who is hoping my daughter falls in love with hunting, this is magic to my ears....lolol. Time for some Christmas gift shopping.
For her 3-5 days of hunting a year with me she doesn't need anything crazy at least not for the next few years. So my thought immediately went to a Vortex Diamondback HD 8X42. Not because I love or am fixed on vortex, just seems like a good value for the cost ($179-199 online) and I will say if she breaks them or something goes wrong, they will cover it no questions asked. 8x will help with steadiness and larger field of view as she learns how to glass.
But before I do that and get some purchased for her, anything else I should consider in an 8x42 for sub $200? I have seen the Athlon Argos HD for about $169-79 online, but no experience with any Athlon product.
