Redfield Rebel binoculars are VERY good glass for the money. They would be very good glass for double the money. They are clearer than my Nikon Monarch binos. I haven't used them late in the evenings to see how they do in low light conditions and I don't know how durable they are but they do have the Redfield Full Lifetime warranty.

Now the story.

I went to Academy this afternoon to get a trail camera. While I was there I ended up getting a pair of Redfield Rebel 10x42 bino's as well. I needed a new set of binoculars a couple years ago and bought a set of Nikon Monarch 10x42's and they are okay but I wanted to get a decent pair for my son. He's 12 and tags along almost every hunt with me. I bought a pair of Redhead binos last year and when I got home with them I should have thrown them in the garbage. I didn't expect much for the price but got less.

I wasn't really shopping for binos today but I walked by the optics counter and the Rebels on sale for $119. I just looked and they are $179 at Cabelas, and $149 at opticsplanet.com

It's unusual for me to make a spur of the moment purchase like this, but I'm glad I did. These binos are rated 4.8-5 star on every website I've looked on after getting home with them.

I have a set been using for two years. You will not see a difference in them and the nikons.

For the money, I love mine.

They are on the same level as my steiner.

When I bought mine, I spent a good hour comparing everything bass pro had. Those were probably the best under $300.

Could tell a little one you hit the $300-$400 range but not enough to spend the extra.

I've had mine a couple of years now and I think they are great. I'm rough on equipment and these have stood the test to this point. I've been nothing but pleased with mine.
