Thread: I need a pair of Binoculars, advice wanted please

Have a pair of Bushnell Legend 8x42s. Few years old but still fantastic binos, rainguard etc...few scratches on lenses but doesnt affect performance terribly...pm if interested, within your budget and a big step up from Trophys!

I have Zenrays the older model.

I really rate them, have compared to some top end glass and don"t see all the $$$$ in between for the difference.

I have Vortex binos. Happy as larry with them.

I use Leupold Acadia Bino's because it was all I could afford at the time, sure there are far better brands out there if you want to spend in excess of $1000, but they do the job for me and I have no complaints.

I purchased a 'Jason' 10x25 on my first weekly wage for $225. I never spent a cent on any booze petrol or anything that week it was my whole weekly wage back in 1989. Still got them today and they are light and easy to stuff under your shirt when bush bashing.
What does someone earn these days on a weekly wage?

Bought a pair of those about the same time and they finally gave up about a year ago. Great little binos though.
I was beginning to find that as my eyesight worsened (with age) the auto focus didn't seem as good. Funny that???

ive got a cheap pair of bushnells they have done the job ok for me if I need a better look at something I use my scope

What is the warrantee on leupold cascades? Lifetime like the scopes?

I see there are a pair on trade me for $150 but the diopter is not working.

Hi guys, I ended up getting a second hand pair of the Bushnell Legends 8x42. They are great to look through, nice to hold, maybe a little heavy but would have to compare them side by side to really see if they are that much heavier than something of a similar size. I think they are a few years old, the new ones weigh less. Very happy with the purchase.
