Mid range Binoculars

Saving up some coin to upgrade from my vortex diamondbacks. Not wanting ranging ones. And will be 10x42s.
Will hopefully have around 2k saved soon so looking in that price range.
There are so many in that price point its hard to decide what to go for.
Zeiss conquest hds seem good
Leica trinovids also around that price.
Or do i look more at the top range ones from the likes of athlone, delta, gpo, maven and so on.

Also tempting to up the budget to 3k and get some sawro ELs but that be a push.

Any advice and feedback on some of these ones would awesome.
Cheers!

I shit you not these are nipping at the heels of the big 3's alpha offerings and will leave trinovids and conquests etc in their dust

Cheers Ryan they were not even on my radar. Will check them out.

Jacobs have them a bit cheaper than that also. I had a pair on loan for a while when I lived down south and super impressive. My sister has them now on my reccomendation and and they kick ass for the money. Have a look at some reviews the bird guys rave about them and they know glass

Zeiss conquest 10x42 are amazing value for money I would only think about upgrading them if one day I get some rangefinding bino

Leica are great glass

Swaro 10 x30 cheaper and just as good.

I run two pairs of GPO's, 10x40 is just over grand. There not swaros but not far off.

I upgraded my conquests to the kahles helia S, they are rebadged swaro SLCs. Very good value for money from Jacob's digital.

I endorse this comment as I have a pair as well!

Swaro cl companion, 2180 at rivers to ranges, ask them to sharpen their pencil down to 2 K. You will not regret it. When you get to my age every Oz counts and you'll still have them when it's your turn to be in your seventies.

Don't buy new. Avoid the astonishing devaluation. Buy used but not abused and save a thou or so.

Looked through a friend's new set of delta today, 10x42 ED glass think he said they were around $700 and man was I impressed.

I have a pair of Leupold BX4 Pro guide HD, the older model. Got them out of the states $600 on special as were $1200 here at the time. I’ve had two mates now use them that normally use Euro glass and both have said they’d be happy as with them instead of shelling out thousands of dollars more. They’re comfy in the hand and quite a small profile.
I’d definitely take some for a try before splashing out extra for Euro. Think they’re about $1400 now at the green store. My two cents anyway.
