Budget Binocular/Range Finder Recommendations

[egreen4257]

Looking to buy a decent set of binoculars that don't break the bank. Going to be elk hunting in CO this year. I'm willing to spend a few hundred dollars, maybe more if really worth it. Also may be in the market for a range finder, I have my dads golf one he just gave me but not sure how well it'll work in the field.

WTS - Vortex Viper HD

I have a pair of Vortex Viper HD 10x42 binocs. They were just gone through and cleaned by Vortex after this past season. Zero scratches or anything. Great glass. $300

Buy these from this guy. About all you can ask for for that much money. I've got the same ones and have used them for years.

I have a set of japanese viper hds and a Leica 2000b I’ve been considering letting go of as a set if you’re interested.

Maven is doing 20% off on all C-series optics for the next 48 hours. Their C series binos are unrivaled for value per dollar for the sub $1k range, and at 20% off they’re a no brainer. They also have a c series rangefinder on the same sale. You’d be under $600 all in for a great long term optics solution.

I'd lean more towards a better range finder as Colorado is big country and they can be way further than you think they are.

Maven RF.1 is $450 and what I would buy if I needed a range finder

All these binocular choices are very subjective due to individual eyesight characteristics. I just went window shopping for binos the other day and my eyes couldn’t use the $4,400 set of Swarovski I tried, but a $400 set from Vortex were fantastic. I’ve used Nikons for years, but just sold my last two pairs as my eyes no longer play nice with them.

Without a spending budget you will get every answer in the book. I use Zeiss conquest HD 10x42. I think they are a great budget binoculars for $800-1000.
