WTB Mid-range 12x50 Binos

[corncob]

Looking to upgrade from my 10x42s for mountain hunting, it seems like I have a hole between that and my spotter right now. Anyone got a decent pair collecting dust?

I would love to get Swaros, but don't have the budget right now. Currently looking at the Leupold BX-5 Santiam HD 12x50s on Scopelist right now, but wondering what else might be out there before I pull the trigger.

I’m actually testing some Vortex razor UHD 12x50’s right now and I say they are very impressive for their price! Ive looked through the older pair of original razors in 12’s and the UHD are definitely a step up! Would recommend them.

I have a pair of Meostar B1.1 12x50?

Might be too low grade for what you're looking for. But I have a bnib leupold bx2 alpine 12x52 I'll let go for 200 shipped. I just love my 10x too much.

Thanks for the offer, but that’s not quite what I’m on the lookout for.

I have a pair of Vortex Viper HD 12x50's. They're a good mid range bino for the price. Selling because I got a pair of 15x50 for PRS matches.

I’d say mid priced ~$1000 tough to beat meostars.

if you are willing to pay an extra few hundred, I agree the UHDs are pretty sweet.

I would personally avoid the BX-5s. I compared their 10x to a bunch and they didn’t stack up very well....just my 2 cents though.

I looked through a handful and stuck with the meostars (including ELs which were better but I couldn’t justify 3x the price tag).

Thanks! I’ve been eyeing the Meostars, too. Passed up a pair that maybe I shouldn’t have, but they are still on my radar.

I really like my Meostars, much better glass then the razors in my opinion.

Dang it, y’all pretty much have me convinced unless there’s a pair of 12x50’s out there that someone just about wants to give away
