Best bino $500-$1k

[alderchokedhellhole]

Binos are like boots and packs….some just don’t work with a persons eyes or face and it’s best to try a bunch in field, everything looks amazing in the store.

I wanted to love the Conquest HD/HDX but just couldn’t get them to work for me.

Leica image just didn’t work for optically.

Ended up between razor UHD and Kowa Genesis. After testing both in the field….the Genesis 10.5 are the ones in the harness.

I’ve got some Kowa Genesis and they are amazing. My wife stole them from me and now I’m back to using my Leica geovid r’s

Definitely going used is the best bang for the buck here!!

I love my Meostar's and they are good enough for me, that I'll never feel the need for something "better".

Maven B1.2 in 10x42, or B.2 in 11x45.

Vortex Razor UHD- Alpha glass that can be found under refurb or demo.

The Vortex Razor UHD 10X42 is a stellar bino....at $1200 new it's a great optic, but if you can shop around and find a refurbished or like new demo option for $950-1k, I would jump all over that.

Check Sierra for refurb or Dvor for new.

Used Swaro SLC should put you right around $1000 and are stellar glass.
