Binoculars

Vortex did it again!

As usual, Vortex has managed to make an awesome product for a reasonable price. These binos are great for the hunter who is a weekend guy to the hunter who depends on his gear to work every day while out in the middle of nowhere. Great product and I highly recommend them. I also recommend getting the Vortex tripod adapter and mount it to the quick release platform so you can alternate between your binos and spotting scope.

Great binos for the price!

I bought these for my hunt in southern Colorado. They worked perfectly for glassing. Small, lightweight and didn’t sacrifice glass quality or durability. Only problem I had is that these come with slip on lens covers and while in the mountains trekking around one of them came off somewhere and I started getting snow on the lens. not the end of the world but just a pain wiping off the lens every time I wanted to use them. I have the shoulder harness that I used to carry them for quick access.

I was introduced to this product thru my brother-in-law. He has had his binoculars for a couple years. He does a lot of boating and sailing and loves his pair. When I first looked thru them I could not believe the clarity and steadiness of the Marine 7x50 Steiner product! I had to get a pair just like this, which I did. I love the field of view when looking thru them. Thank you Steiner Optics.

I actually enjoy looking through these binoculars

I have purchased many binoculars in the past. They would magnify distant objects, but the over all quality was lacking. I would get tired of looking through them. I do not really need binoculars. They are a bit of an extravagance. I bought them to watch soccer games; I wanted so see distance with a wider field of view. The Marine 7x50 does a great job. They are comfortable to hold and comfortable to look through. They are quality through out.

Half off

Bushnell is not my go to brand for optics. However I bought these on sale half off to leave in my truck and I think they are worth that for sure. Quality seems decent. Viewing is not crisp nor blurry. I would not pay $100 for these. Shipped from Acadamy Sports as usual on time and arrived in perfect condition (5 star). I would recommend to a friend for half off truck optics but not for important hunting expeditions.

Great bino for price

Got these for Christmas gift, I've used them for hunting, they're great. Small enough to carry in a pack, perform flawlessly in woods. Quality bino.

Crisp Glass!!

I have a pair of Nikon 8x32 travel type binocs that I bought nearly 20 years ago as a photographer. I picked up the Aculon because I wanted a bit more power for looking downrange while long range target shooting. Out of curiosity I focused on a single point with both pair of Nikons and then swapped them to and from my eyes while focused on a single point......and the difference is UNBELIEVABLE. The small Nikons give a great picture, but when I put the Aculon up to my eyes, its as if you turned ... read more Click to read full text of review titled "Crisp Glass!!". the light on. I know my small Nikons are prob 20 years old, but I honestly thought the image comparison would be closer. The difference was NIGHT & DAY.....literally. I have always liked Nikon's glass because I learned a lot about their products while using their professional SLR lenses. It seems their commitment to excellent clear glass has carried over into their binocular line as well.

Nice binoculars except lens cap/cover attachments

Binoculars are very nice. The only thing that jumps out at you is the quality of the lens caps or lens covers. The eye piece cover is VERY loose and falls off easy ! The other thing I did not really like is that the objective covers do not stay attached when removed. You have to place them down or in your pocket or attach to the neck strap. Would like to see them just fold down and stay attached via retaining rings. Less likely to lose them. Eye piece cover easily falls off while walking or ... read more Click to read full text of review titled "Nice binoculars except lens cap/cover attachments". moving. Could lose them without even noticing.

Fantastic Clarity

I bought the M7 10x42's for my daughter. I chose this binocular over the competion for three main reasons; 1st - optical quality(clarity and light collection) was on par with binos costing twice as much, 2nd - setting the diopter and focusing was quick and precise, competitors binos had more play in the knobs, 3rd - the size and weight cause less fatigue during extensive use compared to my European binos. Very Happy!

Nikon is different than the competition

I just purchased the Monarch7 10x42 after four trips to the local sporting goods store to compare their huge selection of competing brands. The final comparison was at dusk, outside the store. After multiple frustrating attempts to see any significant difference between brands within the brightly lit store, I did the dusk test. Even then, it was difficult until close to darkness. However, Nikon was obviously superior in color contrast and sharp focus than the other brands. The store employee who ... read more Click to read full text of review titled "Nikon is different than the competition". was assisting agreed in the end, after he previously recommended another brand. He is now converted to Nikon. The others used for comparison were: Leupold McKinley, Zeiss Conquest, Vortex Razor and Viper. The superior look, feel and operation is a nice bonus.

Steiner Lite

I bought a pair of Steiner Champ 10X26 binoculars about a month ago. I already own a pair of Steiner Predator Extreme 10X42 binos which I have used for about a year and am immensely pleased with. I wanted a smaller pair of binos for carrying in the field but have had poor luck with other brands. When I saw the Champ, I tried them out in the store and was amazed at the clarity and sharpness of the view, and they are even better outdoors. They are far superior to any of my other "pocket-size" ... read more Click to read full text of review titled "Steiner Lite". optics. I am looking forward to using them this coming hunting season (and also at the upcoming Shania Twain concert).

compact model with great clarity was the goal

Received this compact model as a gift. The clarity and sharpness of this models exceeds all others previously tested in local stores. Light weight, folds up small enough to place in a shirt pocket will make it a great piece of equipment for fly-in hunting trips.

Fun store to explore

The binoculars I purchased in San Antonio were on my doorstep when I returned home to Rhode Island three days later. They are light weight and easy to use.

Great set of compact binoculars for price point!

I bought this set right before deer season. For a compact set, the optics are crisp and clear. The design feels and looks durable and rugged. Perfect for hunting field edges, cut-overs, and thinned pine rows.

Sturdy product

Bought for our 7 year old grandson. He loves them!

Hubby likes!

Got these for my Dad and my husband for Christmas, my husband loves them, said he could see the flea on the wall from across the room! We don't have fleas, so not sure what he saw, but he was very excited to have them.

Love these glasses

My sweet wife ordered these for me on Wednesday, free shipping (3 to 5 business days) got them Friday morning! Everything that should have been in the box was in the box. They are just as described, and great for my purpose. With these I can see a Purple Martin catch a fly on the other side of the lake! Love them and lightning fast shipping!

High Recommendation

Great product. Comfortable eye pieces. Love the idea of clipping the lense covers to the straps. For months, I've been looking for a good pair of binoculars and I definitely found this to be THE ONE! Ironically, after 3 weeks of "procrastination", I went back to the store to find out that it was on sale! Obviously, bought it and I'm a very "happy camper"!!!

Great value

Great value because these binoculars have a very crisp focus at all ranges. You have the common 10 power lenses for overall viewing, but then you can really zoom in close with up to 22 power to get fine details. I had tried these binoculars at a competitor's store and liked that example, however the product I received has a very "jerky" control for the zoom (not a smooth action like the one I examined earlier). Hopefully this one will loosen up as it is used more.

Great binocular quality

Got these for Christmas and compared to 3 other binocluars that I have. The Nikon are brighter and have better contrast than the others allowing me to see better details. Used them for a hunting trip and enjoyed their size and weight. Light gathering is good and comparable to a high end rifle scope I was using. Images are sharp and focused.

Great gift, great price!

I bought two pairs of these binoculars for my so and son-in-law for Christmas. They both loved them. I have had several different brand binoculars over the years but my favorite is Leupold. I recently purchased a new pair for myself with a little stronger magnification. They cost twice as much as these. Well made, great viewing field, really good price!

From open paddocks to thick bush

I have been a hunter for over 33 years. Living in Tasmania, Australia we have a huge diversity of bush, From wide open paddocks to thick scrub. I have always used Leupold scopes! I have only ever used cheap Binoculars but when i brought my 10x50 Rouge binoculars for a major deer hunting trip i was doing i was like a kid in a candy store. From sneaking around on dusk spotting rabbits in their burrows to Hunting Fallow deer on dawn these binoculars out preformed me. The clarity on first light ... read more Click to read full text of review titled "From open paddocks to thick bush". was amazing! I went from struggling to point out a buck in a mob of does at a hundred yards on first light to been able to count the points of that buck among a mob of does.The Rouges never miss a beat from rain to snow to wide open paddocks that would go on as far as the eyes could see to the thickest bush they worked in all conditions and where made for our hunting conditions.

light gathering

got these few weeks ago and they are super great binoculars. I would advise anyone looking for excellent product for a great price to try these.

Best Buy 4 $$ hit

These are def worth the money. Great for star watching Im going to buy the stronger version og these but will need to get the tripod cause there alot heavier but Im def glad I bought these Celstron is alot cheaper and just as good then most og the other companys.

Best deal going.

I bought my Steiner Champ 8x22 binoculars 3 months ago. They have quickly became go-to optic. They are small enough to carry anywhere,and the optical and image quality are second to none in this price range and better than lots of binocs costing way more. Very satisfied with the product.

Great for size and price!

I was looking for a compact, travel size and found that Steiner has this model. The weight and over-all size are great! Travel size. That mattered to me because I carry a lot of camera equipment. Look and feel are very nice. Even though these are compact they have a good feel, even in large hands. The double hinge design is very nice for adjusting to your face width. Focusing is easy enough and the optical quality seems really nice for the 22mm size!! In general, I am quite happy and ... read more Click to read full text of review titled "Great for size and price!". looking forward to taking on a big trip.

Great clarity and versatile

Almost 2 years ago I purchased the Vioor HD 15x50 binoculars and they are awesome! I do a lot of back country hunting and I take these instead of my spotting scope mostly due to weight, but I do not give up much as being able to put up the 15x50’s and getting a better look at the game I’m searching for. They are so clear and I can look through them all day without stress on my eyes. Awesome product

Will spoil you.

I bought a set of these since I'd had such great success with Vortex scopes. I felt that the other brand 10x binoculars I was hunting with were leaving quite a bit on the table. First season out, I knew immediately that the 15x and HD glass were just what I was after. The only problem, nothing short of this level of performance will ever be enough again, so I had to buy another pair for my wife.

excellent glass

I bought these for this hunting season and could not be happier with the build quality and clarity of glass. Even in low light conditions I am able to spot things in the distance. Redfield is now owned by Leupold so you do get somewhat similar quality, the Leupold customer service, and all at a great price. These come with front and back lens covers, a nice strap and soft case.

THESE ARE $400 BINOCULARS FOR 1/4 THE PRICE!!!

I went to Academy with the intention of buying another brand that was on sale and had a mail-in rebate. But after trying all of the binos on the display, I kept going back to these Redfields. Even the $400+ binos were no better. So I bought these, and I have been nothing but impressed with the clarity, the light gatherinng, and how naturally they come to focus when you pull them up to your face. They're like buying Leupolds at 1/4 the price. Try them out for yourself!

Monarch 5

We had a Monarch 5 but damaged them during our move. Sent them to customer service. They sent “repaired” and sent them back without a fee. Not even for shipping. Excellent customer service and excited to spot some more fine feathered friends.

Best bang for the buck....

I've been looking to replace a cheap pair of 10 X 52mm binoculars of another brand for quite a while. I researched several brands in the 10 X 42mm size, comparing spec's and prices. Then going out to several retailers and actually looking through them all. I kept coming back to the Nikon Monarch series. My biggest choice was in comparing the Monarch, 3's, 5's, and 7's. I chose the Monarch 5 since I felt it had the best, clearest optics with great color definition, light in weight, compact in ... read more Click to read full text of review titled "Best bang for the buck....". size, and ease of use. For the price the Nikon Monarch 5 binoculars can't be beat, I use them for both hunting and bird watching, and they excel for both activities.
