I've read everything I can find on TA using the search feature and can't find the info I need.
Like many, I'm looking for an upgraded set of bino's for hunting.
I've been using Redfield 10x42's (scoff if you will), and they're decent for a sub $200 pair, but looking to step up a notch. Definitely feeling the pinch in low-light sitch. I'm 47 y.o., and my eyes ain't getting any better.
Although we hunt pretty hard, I'm not hunting in the mountain west and can't justify a +$1K-$1.5K set of Swaro's. I know they're totally worth it, I just need a set of decent bino's I can carry in my pack and in my truck and I won't have a baby if they get lost or damaged.
Been looking at the Nikon, Leupold, Vanguard, Vortex offerings lately. Vanguard was the $h!# a couple years ago, and can't find much info on them lately. Thoughts?
FWIW, we hunt on a 5,500ac MLD place between Rocksprings and Sonora off hwy 55.
What say you OB and Sir Caladan?
Thanks in advance.
