I was woundering what Bino's would you buy I lost mine . I like the smaller frame size. Next thing is I need some Simmions land sharks in 140gn I would take some used heads if I could find them.

I think the smaller Nikons are great for the price.  They aren't Swarovskis, but they don't cost 1/10th as much either.  I seem to keep coming back to the 10x Nikons.

I will never buy a cheaper pair of binos. again ! I bought a pair of Bushnell Elite's and got a real good idea of how good glass works.

Good luck.

I really like my nikons, where I live it's pretty open so I got the 10 power, I never go hunting without them. They are well priced and have a wonderful warranty. The glass is really good to.

Look at Vangaurd optics. I don't have a pair but looked at them at the Harrisburg, PA sportsmans show. They have a couple of really nice 8x's that run under $100 to a little over. Really clear compared to my bushnells.

Vortex's are great.
