Best Binoculars for the money

Another vote for Leupold BX4 Pro Guides

Another vote for Leupold BX4 Pro Guides

And another vote. Clearest binoculars I've ever owned. Granted, I've never had Leica's or Steiner, but I can tell a huge difference between my BX-4s and my dads Leupold Wind Rivers.

For the money mavens are hard to beat imo. I have been really impressed with mine.

I have not held them or looked through but I have heard several good things about Mavens. I screwed up and let me wife use my Swaros this past year and while I love her, I am not buying her a pair of Swaros used or not. Mavens will be on the list to look at.

You can buy a used pair of Swaro EL 8.5x42 for around $1,200 and it will blow absolutely anything else in that range and below out of the water. Zero comparison.

Love my Vortex binos. Come to think of it, i got them off TBH.

Where is a good place to shop used Swaro's?

[MIHunter]

Maven is solid as well

X2!

Save a little more and get some Swaro SLC 10x42. You’ll never have to mess with another pair again.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Tasco

In that price range... Maven.

Came here to say this.

What’s the deal with them? Thanks in advance

Swarovski has discontinued the SLC 42 models. Kahles is now offering a new model, the Helia S 42, and it appears as the same specs. as the SLC.

The sub 1200 range is probably the most competitive market segment in binos. Sub 1200 I’d look at Maven and Meopta

Zeiss Conquest HD. Pretty dang close to the Swaro SLC, substantially better than Leupold’s. Haven’t looked through Maven’s, I know they are good, but at $1,000 there’s no reason not to go with Euro glass.

I was able to snag a pair of Swaro EL 10x42 off EBay for $100 about 8-9 months ago. Take your time and look around.
