Thread: First binoculars recommendations

Binoculars and scopes, like Brads I’ve owned most brands.
I agree with most posters that you want either 8x40 or 10x40. Don’t buy anything smaller.
If I was you I’d spend a minimum of $1,000 and get either a good second hand pair or new leupolds (or something like them).
With binoculars, the more you spend the better they are.
If you can stretch it a little have a look at the Kites at Hunting and Fishing, I’ve got a pair and they’re good value for money, however I do prefer my Swarovskis!
It pays to have a mate with a good pair, all my mates reach over and grab mine, when they’re not sure if they can see an animal or not!
