Thread: Newbie: Suggestions for first binoculars?

There’s two second hand Savage 270 wsms on TM at the moment for around 700 (I.e. half the price of a Tikka) - they will do the trick, and will likely still be worth 6-700 in a couple of years time. Reloaders have Sauer 100 rem mags for tikka money too, i’d be looking at them.

Ryan is right - you can easily get lost, but the more sorted you get to start the cheaper it will be in the long run. Everyone has their likes and dislikes - I have to confess I’m a little allergic to tikkas - or anything where the action doesn’t fit the cartridge (not an issue in rem mag).

Back to binos - check out the “birder” reviews - those guys are binoc mad, but also good at sniffing out where the bargains lie. Vanguard seem to get a good rap for the $$
