Binocular recommendations

(1/6) > >>

Nate:
I need recommendations for a top quality pair of binoculars please

halsey:
Steiner 7x50 marine are common on boats I've worked on. Just glancing thru ebay they can go $3-500.

TexasRedNeck:
Well, define “top notch”.

You can get into Zeiss, Leica, Steiner for many thousands of $$.

First should probably be, what purpose?  Hunting, birdwatching, etc?

For general purpose, I like the Nikon’s 8x42 I got for my daughter, which were about $300 and are better than the Leupold I have in my kit

Top quality? Guess it depends on how much time you're going to spend looking through them.
Hands down, for me, Swarovski. And no, Vortex isn't as good like everyone says on the internet, but they are good for the money, and now their warranty is better than Swaro's.
I think Steiner and Zeiss are contenders but haven't used either, but a couple buddies chose Swaros over them.
The SLCs are their lower end model, and the 3 I bought were used, to keep them "cheap"...8x,10x, and 12x models.
My go tos are 10x42.
10 power is as big as you can go without a tripod.

Been using these for about 16 years and never had an issue. They were a few years old when I bought them.

I use Stiner binos. Same ones we used in Afghanistan, not sure of the nomenclature...
