$500 binos will smoke any scope in resolving detail in low light.

Naturally $2K binos are better than $500 binos.

If on a budget, good binos are more useful for killing whitetails in a AL than a $1500 scope.



Some very good stuff told here. Both my Swarovski 8x32 bino's and my Vortex 10x42 bino's out do my Schmidt & Bender 2.5x10x56mm with 30mm tube scope in low light as far as resolving detail. In my opinion if you are able to tell detail through bino's and determined to take a shot late you would still be able to handle the shot with your current scope. I am sure there are people who disagree but that just my opinion.
