Thread: Scope or binos?

My thinking is that if I had the money I would upgrade the binos first. However for a $1000 investment I will get a custom rifle that I know is a shooter, a MUCH better scope, and a weekend guided tahr hunt with a guy that has been guiding for 40 years. I think that far outweighs simply spending a grand on new binos, that won't be bear the same quality as the new scope

That sounds like a screamer of a deal, Id jump on that. You'll upgrade both at some point but might as well jump on the deal.

Also FWIW i still use the diamondbacks and have spotted and shot a bunch of animals with them, although Im not hunting south island big country though. If you want a cheap way to improve how many animals you are seeing with the binos throw em on a tripod. Makes a world of difference. Alpha glass is mean but plenty of deer shot without it
