Thoughts on BX-1 McKenzie 10x42 binos

[Grecco]

Got the cabelas add for fathers day and saw these advertised for $99. I currently run an older pair of nikon action 10x40. Has anyone used these leupolds. How do they feel and how is the image. I dont know weather to change or wait a couple years for a really nice 500 ish pair. I do have kids that will be comming up looking for handme downs when they are a little older so nothing will be a waste.

I would order them for that price. If you don't like them, return them!

They were similar in quality to vortex crossfire/diamondbacks. They are decent optics especially for that price. And hell they are better than nothing

I own a pair and they are great. I just text my brother to get a pair for that price.

I have a pair as well and they work just fine for me. Some day I'll upgrade but they are quite clear for what they are and will certainly work for now.

For a short time and can offer s big discount on a BX-4 pro guide or BX-5. PM me if interested

I have a pair in 8x. They're a good value. That is to say, they are not great glass, but they're better than $35 glass, and better than some $250 glass. And with a lifetime guarantee, I'm not worried to be rough with them.

Going on 4 years with mine, and have nothing bad to say about them. For that price, I might go buy another pair for my wife!

I haven't heard of those, I bought the Vortex Diamondback 10x42's which are similar. Both hare Bak4's, multicoated, and gas purged. I'd buy them.

@Grecco did you end up buying these? If so, how do you like them?

 

[Grecco]

I did buy them. I ran compared them to my old set and could not tell much of a difference in the glass. I did like how compact and smaller than my old ones. In the end I did return them and will save for a higher end set. If I did not have a set and needed one, I would have loved them.
