Buying binos sucks

[Chingon]

Yeah I've spent a lot of time behind that exact setup. Marginally better than $900 Sigs handheld.

Only caveat is they're more comfortable to look through for greater than 30-45 minutes. I was dead set on a BTX/115mm setup but that's not even on my radar anymore.

Our fathers and grandfathers killed plenty of game with $50 binoculars.

We seem to get it in our heads that we need $5000 rifles, $2500 scopes, $2000 binos and $1500 clothes.

That being said, I am as guilty as the next guy as I have purchased all the above... I don't kill any more game than when I hunted with less expensive items.

I’ve killed everything you can in Montana with old rifles and cartridges. I didn’t need Swarovski optics to find or shoot them. This is about good optics or better optics.

If you can’t tell the difference between top tier glass and bargain glass, don’t waste your money.
