Cut and paste from the old discussion. I know you are new around these parts, but both of these guys have been around for a while and seem to be pretty knowledgeable folks. One is even a sponsor. I would take their advice over a lot of other stuff I read on here. But that is just my 2 cents.

Buy a set of 10x42 or something close to that size and don't be scared to buy a used set. Any good glasses will have a lifetime guarantee.

If you are willing to spend $800 on a pair, spend $800. Don't drop down to a $500 set to save $300. If you kept a P.O.S. pair for 15 years lets assume you will keep a good set that long too. Eight hundred divided by 15 is $53.33. Will you get $53.33 of use out of a set of glasses per year? If you answered yes, go ahead and spend $800.



REALLY good advise right here.

You can get some Swarovski 10x42 or 8's on ebay for 800. I have had my pair for 25 years and I sent them back one time to have the armor reglued and they put new lenses, new armor, new everything on em free.

Don't "cheap out" on glasses. They are the most important thing you carry hunting. If you can't see it, you can't shoot it.
