What is the best value in used high end binos right now ($1000+)?

[Undrgrndprdcts]

What are some of the best options for used higher end binos right now in approximately the $1000-$1500 range? RF capability is also an option. 10x-15x but primary for tripod use. I know we are on the cusp of rf and image stabilization integration with excellent glass, but I need something to hold me over until then. What would you buy?

Used Leica trinovid HD is the best value.

700$ for those is nuts (just sold a pair and considered not even selling them)

Kowa Genesis 10.5x44 if you find a sale or demo. On the heavier side but build quality and glass is excellent.

You can snag Zeiss SF binos for $15-1600 pretty regularly in great shape if you keep your eyes open. In my opinion, that’s easily the best value in the optics world. $3k new, and the only bino that really competes with it is a Swaro NL.

thisi s what I was thinking.

The Zeiss SFs/SFL might be worth a look and used should be in that range.

I reviewed the SFL40s, and ended up buying them after the review. Since then, they've released the 50s.

not sure 50s been out long enough to hit the used, but you know how our classifieds are. There's a rumor you could win a pair in Cold Bow/Cold Bore this year.

Outdoorsmans has new, and might have used.

Arguably the most important piece of gear for hunting the West.
