Looking for a pair of Binoculars for hunting but not looking to break the bank on a pair of Leica's
Can anyone recommend a good pair?
Cheers

+2. Just got some before deer season this year and I friggin love them. Super clear glass. Got mine off Amazon for like $150.
Lovin the Vortex love! Their warranty is lifetime...even for 2nd hand glass. I went from Bushnell to Nikon to Vortex. I will say that my next big purchase will be Leica though. But for a budget hunter the Vortex glass is really good.

Vortex Optics Crossfire II 10x42 - The only thing that I don't really like about them (which isn't really an issue) is the focus is extremely small. Meaning, If I'm scanning from 200 yards out to 400 yards out, the amount of turn on the focus dial is very small. I would like more of a throw to be able to steadily focus in. Again, not a real issue, but I would prefer that. They come with rubber objective lens covers that don't stay put if you don't have them in a harness. I just use the enclosed case around my neck and have bevy hooks that link up to my backpack so I can easily acccess them ( saving cost by not purchasing a bevy/harness. born on budget). They are light weight and the glass is VERY clear!

Happiness is a warm gut pile
Maybe Craig's list, Not to be condescending but with a $200 budget its gonna be tough to find something that's worthwhile.

I got these off amazon also a while back they work much better then my Bushnell 10x50s they are cheap pretty light and small with good glass for the price.
Beats me my bushnells are atleast 10 years old cost almost 500 new back then. they are nice and all but my new lighter smaller vortex are pretty nice. I do still keep the busshys in the truck.
Reason I ask is the New Bushnell Elite Series Binoculars are stellar. Pretty hard to beat for the money. Their Entire Elite series has an amazing guarantee. Nobody in the industry is offering this type of offer. Basically use the gear for a year and if you do not like it, send it back. No questions asked.
