best budget rangefinder binos?

[diygunsmith]

who makes the best rangefinder binos in a budget friendly price of 1000 and under? will 8x40s be sufficient glassing long distances? 1000 yds and beyond?

Take a look at the GPO 8x40 Rangeguide, on sale, reduced from $1,299.99 to only $649.99

You guys don’t have them onsale anymore.

If they’re still $650 I concur, good performance for the money, I can a pair last fall and felt they were solid. Not alpha glass but not alpha cost either.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I have corrected this. Back to $649.99

I just picked up a like new pair of Revic blr10b 10x42 for $1,000 on marketplace. I dont think you can do better if you find a decent deal

how will 8x look at 1000 yds?

What specifically do you mean? The image in the center is good and crisp, as good or better than many $650 non-range finding binoculars. Edge to edge isn’t as crisp as my swaro EL (non-range finding) but that’s a different tier. I didn’t ditch these Gpo for my ELs during the fall hunts if that says anything. I do carry and glass with SLC 15s also though on many hunts.

Lotta bang for the buck if you don’t need ballistics.

i mean will the 8x power have enough power to see a animal at 1000 yds
