Binocular Advise Please


Recommended Posts

Right people some advise please I have already some carl zeiss 8x30 and I am after spending about £300 on a new set I have been looking at the nikon monarch dcf 8.5x56 has anyone any experience with that model also I would consider opticron-leupold(windriver) or could anyone suggest any decent ones without breaking the bank I have a browning scope on my fac x2 and must admit i do think it is clear so I would consider the browning 8x42 as anyone any experience with that model i thank you all in advance.

After just returning from my first stalking trip and using some top swarovski binoculars I need something decent I know I will not get anything like the swarovski with that money but there must be some half decent ones for the right price anyone

I was looking at the 8.5x56 monarchs snap shot I thought they looked alright for the money and wildfowler i know what you mean with the swarovski's the ones i was using over the easter weekend where some 12x58 and some 8x42 and yes they are something else but just a little out of my price range I just wish I could afford so it looks like the monarchs though I was told by the swarovski owners that the browning aren't bad at all for the money and the browning on my daystate aren't bad at all and yes as i stated i do not expect to get fantastic glass just something nitrogen filled etc. and land rover i must admit them vortex do look/sound ok so plenty to think about but still do not what to get out of the three mentioned obviously excluding the swarovskis I wish

8x42 is plenty, i'm not shitting you if you want anexcellent pair of optics get the nikons 8x42, they are every bit as good as the lecia's i should know i used to own a pair, i got a tip from someone in the know, even if you can just try them you won't be disapointed, :thumbs: if stalking 8x42 is plenty strong.
