Budget Binos

[Don Fischer]

I would suggest taking your dad to the store and letting him look through different bino's and decide which he likes best!

The Vortex Crossfires are shockingly good for what you pay. But I agree with the above comment, pick what your eyes prefer.

Hey all - jumping on this thread to ask abou budget binos for archery elk season this year. In the past during rifle season we've always been hunting dark timber, occasionally I'd glass on a ridge with my scope but never wanted to carry the extra weight of a separate set of optics. Well, since I don't have a scope this year and I'm guessing the elk are going to be high and possibly more in the open that rifle season, it may behoove me to bring a pair of binos.

Any recs for a light pair (emphasizing light because we go full backpack hunt, no base camp, lots of mileage) that won't break the bank?
