Best Binos for $400 or Less

Not Mavens, C1? See none. Buy Used on that budget.

Everyone knows there is no such things binos under $400.... there's barely such a thing as binos under $1k....

Seriously, if it were me, I'd find a good used bino, check the classifieds on here and Archerytalk.

You can find the Vortex Viper HD in 10x42 for around $400 or less sometimes. I got mine for less than $400 brand new off eBay.

I agree with the Vortex Viper HD. Great glass for the price

I recently found a pair of Vanguard Endeavor IV's for about $400. I'm pretty impressed with them so far but I never hear them mentioned here much.

I've done a side by side athlon vs vortex Diamondbacks, same configuration, same price range, I picked the athlon even though I'm a "vortex guy".

As the title says, budget is sub $400. What will give me the most for my money? Looking at Maven C series, vortex diamondbacks, Leupold BX-2, etc. Primary use will be deer hunting with lots of low light, picking deer out of tall grass/brush in prairie/ag field terrain. Have hopes of a western hunt in the future. Looking primarily at 10x42s. Thanks for any input.

What did you end up with? I am looking around same price range for 10x42’s. Wife gave me the go ahead on Swaros, but I feel too guilty about it.

Have a couple of discounts that put the both the Leupold BX-4 and Athlon Cronus G2ess than $400. Can also pick up the Vortex Viper or Scheels equivalent for the reg price at $500.

Maven C1's for sure although my Carson's are awesome for the money.

I just bought a used pair of Maven B3 8x30s as a second pair so my kid can use them. They are pretty good. Paid $400. I usually use 10s, but really like the offhand stability of the 8s.

I like my Vipers that i got an open box discount on. they get my vote.

Bump. Fyi…I talked to Doug and he recommended the hawke frontier edx over the athlon Cronus g2 udx over the vortex viper.

That's because Doug (great guy/seller) doesn't sell Vortex. The Viper HD is the way to go, especially the Cabelas $299 version.
