minox bino's

[nash1519]

I Am Currently Thinking About Buying A Pair Of Binoc's. I Have A Friend That Has A Pair Of 10 By 40's Minox, Does Anyone Have Any Information Good Or Bad About Minox Bino's, ThEy Seem Pretty Clear And Tough. Or If You Have Another Brand That Might Be Suitable

I Only Want To Spend Around 500.00

Thanks Nash1519

Minox binoculars are an excellent product. I own a pair of 10x40's and I'm very satisfied with their performance. Excellent value for your dollar.

Don't base the decsion on the cost alone. Think about how you will use them. You would be suprised how heavy they can get on your neck by the end of the day. Also think about the distance. If you are looking within 100yds to verify game or rack size, a lower power is better. The width of the view is also important when choosing. High pwer bino's with a small field of view are hard to locate game in at long distance. You will find several bino's at that price range. Just make sure you are not paying for the name. I have seen and I'll bet you have to, scopes and other optics that are suppose to be better, yet your eyes don't see the diffrence. Unless you are planning on falling off a cliff, durability isn't usually a major concern. Lense coating helps and the ability to focus the optics with gloves on are things to consider also. Hey that's why they call it shopping. Good Luck
