Budget 15x binos

[BREAKCONTACT]

I'm considering expanding my optics setup, and am leaning towards carrying higher magnification binos over a compact spotter, which I own neither currently.

I'm considering the Maven C4 15s, the athlon 15s, burris 15s, or the bushnell 15s. All are in the $6-700ish range. For those of you with experience behind a few diffrent of the higher magnification binos, are any of the sub $1k higher magnification binos a really solid choice, or are they generally a waste and waiting to be able to get something from the next general tier($1200-1500) of these class of binos a huge leap in preformance?

This is the way.

The more I use my B5s the more I fall in love with them. May not find a pair this fall but I guarantee as seasons wrap up you’ll start to see more and more popping up in here for sub 1k. There were quite a few last year.

I think I paid $900 for mine on here. A set sold for $1k in july. Seems to be the goin rate for 15's.

I've been very happy with mine as well. Though I keep wondering about a set of 12's. And somebody really needs to buy that $700 set on here and save me from myself

Buy used and save a few bucks for the best glass for the money.

The ZeroTech 15x56mm binos are the only “budget” 15x’s that I have used or seen that are worth buying. The center 60% or so of the FOV is very good, and the outer edges are acceptable.
