Best 10 x 42s for $500 or under

Man-that sucks!

I picked up the BX-4’s and NOBODY could touch the price. Real happy with them-similar thread, hope it helps

8x42 Binos around $500???

I am looking at upgrading from my Vortex Diamondback 8x42's. They are my first and only pair and have done pretty good but I just want something a little better quality. My price range is around $500.00 and I am open to buying another brand. I do want to stick with 8x42's as I will be...

Based on my research as a new guy here, I would go with the Nikon HG’s. Hard to find anything negative about them. I am currently watching the Classifieds for a 10x42 set myself.

Yup. If dudes going to sell HGs around $500. Buy those.

And if not those, then a pair of BX-4's and call it a day.

I like my bx-4s. Great glass for the price and barely any imperfections in the glass unless your really look hard. The one thing I have noticed is the colour is a bit on the greenish gray side almost making it less bright when compared to other binoculars in its class. Has anyone experienced this? I’m not sure if it’s just my pair or not but I did see this with a Tioga I had which is a step down but it had bad colour representation.

I've owned 2 pairs of BX-4 Pro Guides now, and they both had near-perfect image quality. I'm not sure what you're seeing, but I didn't see it. However everyone's eyes are unique.
