Thread: Binos $600 or under?

Any advice would be appreciated, cheers

If you want really good binos in that price range - actually $400 ish, the Delta 10x50's will beat out any Vortex or Leupold for definition and clarity. They are a little bigger and heavier but heck they are good, right till dark oclock. Get ahold of Sarvo. I use Swaro's and the Delta is not far behind, they just need more focus attention that the Swaro's when glassing across a face.
