Glad i Spent a little extra

These are great optics. Ill be honest i only have a few other to compare it too but i am endlessly impressed with these. I was going to go with the crossfires but when i saw that these were just a touch more and I really believe they are better it was a no brainer to pick up a pair. My wife has a competitors 10x42 that retail for around the same price and they are noticeably heavier and for whatever reason I can never quite get them to feel as clear as my Diamondbacks. So yet another win for ... read more Click to read full text of review titled "Glad i Spent a little extra". Vortex. Thanks for the great binos gang.

Great Product at a Great Price.

I purchased these several months ago, as an upgrade from some lower quality bushnell 10x42s. Love these, way clearer glass, and very compact and light weight. I was torn after having 10x42s in a another brand, I was tempted to get the 12x50 in this model, but after comparing them all side by side, just the improvement in the glass alone between the two brands was enough for me. The pic is a quick one taken holding an iPhone up to the eye piece, on a bobcat spotted in Big Ben National Park.

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.

Excellent Binoculars

As soon as took them out of the box, I was impressed with the ease that my hands fit the binoculars. This design is very user friendly and allows secure grip. I followed the instructions in the booklet, focusing on a sign 100 + yards away and was delighted with the binoculars absolutely clear vision. The sports auto focus system works perfectly. I tried them again as it was getting dark and the lens still gave excellent celerity. This binocular is great for any outdoor task, that requires long ... read more Click to read full text of review titled "Excellent Binoculars". distance clear vision.

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.

Awesome buy

Bought about a month ago. Been hunting a couple of times and they work great. Great buy for the price.

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.

As expected Nikon delivers !

Forgot my binoculars at home, went to Academy an picked out these 10 x 42 The salesmen ( Mog ) helped me try several par he was patient with me and I appreciate that . Very happy ,happy ,happy when I got the glasses out in the open an adjusted for the first time .If your ever in Portland TX.. Academy You can't go wrong with Nikon for this price range .

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).

Nothing but the best!

I purchased the Steiner Champ 10X26 for an up coming trip to Peru. They are just the right size for traveling. They are light in the hand and easy to adjust with one hand. Objects are very clear! I look forward to using them in Peru and future ventures. As a merchant marine officer, the name Steiner are known for their quality and durability in the offshore business.

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!

Beach Bum now has a view

Just bought my Monarch 7s 10x42 model. I was torn between these and the Monarch 5s. There is a revised model of the Monarch 5s coming to the USA at the end of 2013, but I wanted bino's for this spring/summer. I took the standard advice and went with the best I can reasonably afford. I am glad I did that. The Monarch 7s deliver as advertised. Brightest, clearest and largest field of view! I compared these to another brand that cost more than 4 times a much, and couldn't see enough difference to ... read more Click to read full text of review titled "Beach Bum now has a view". justify the difference. I can clearly see ships passing by in the channel several miles out and I can see the windows in alight house 17 miles across the bay.. Cant wait for summer and bikini beach!!

Excellent!

I did a little research for binoculars used for bird watching. We have a couple blue bird homes in our backyard and wanted to see them up close. One web site reviewed top 5 binoculars reviewed by professional bird watchers. Different price points etc, these were number 1 in the under 200.00 category. What I wasn't expecting is how far out I can see birds up close. We have an acre in back of our house and can view birds very, very clear way up in some of the pine trees. Exceptional clarity!

Crystal clear choice

I just returned from using these on a deer hunt down in South Texas. The ranges are long and good glass is a must. These binoculars were outstanding. Crystal clear and great light gathering at sunset. Could not be happier!

Solid product

I use these for hunting from climbers and stands and they're great for getting a much closer look at the deer. No fog issues and the neck strap is durable. I also use these when duck hunting since they're water proof. Would definitely recommend these to any hunter wanting a good pair of binoculars.

Really love them

I really enjoy my new binoculars. They are easy to use and images are clear and crisp. They are easy to adjust.

Good Spotting

I like the view of spotting i will use this way more just fogs up depending on the weather but there still great. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

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.

Well worth the price

I find it very easy to get focus on these and would definitely recommend these to anyone

Warranty

I dropped a pair of 5 year old binos out of my side by side while scouting and cracked the center pivot piece. Sent them in and they were replaced with a new pair with no questions asked. I will never own any other optic because if this warranty it is the best.

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.

I bought six, everyone seemed to be impressed

I needed six moderately priced binoculars for an orienteering activity at a family reunion. Once the course was completed they could keep them. The course went well as planned and I heard some very favorable comments about them.

Experienced Hunter and Bino User

Bought a pair after such good reviews. Have used extensively last week and surprised by quality of lenses. I use for white tail hunting and quick spotting. I’m very disappointed at how quick the lense fogs up. I spent more time clearing them and at critical times while viewing deer I would have to stop and clear. Going to have to return to my original pair and try these during summer

Really like them !

The best pair of small binoculars I have ever owned. extremely clear and bright. They focus very well and a light enough that you sometimes forget you have them on your body. I more than recommend 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.

Great product for the price!!

I love bird, orchids and mushrooms..... and search for all three all the time. These binoculars are great for people who looks at delicate detail but are rough on things like me.  Rubber grip is great.  Lens covers attach to strap as well as into the lenses.   Very bright image as well.    Another bonus:  theIy arrived in what seemed like 24 hours after ordering.   I'm very pleased.

Clear brings in a lot of light

I bought these before bow season 2014. These glasses bring in a lot of light before daylight and dusk.

Sharp Image

Bought 12/14. Easy to focus & stays on focus. Sharp image.

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.

State Park Ranger

Amazing binoculars top of the line I must say I was going to go with the 8 x 42 but I decided to go with the 10 x 42 which it ended up being perfect for the use that I need them for I was going to choose other name brands but this binocular definitely surpasses other brands great job Nikon really happy with your binoculars

Nikon 10x50 Aculon

Have a pair of Nikon 10x42 for a couple years which are great for deer hunting from my tripod stands. Purchased the 10x50 for my wife at a great discounted price for Christmas so now I can get my 10x42 back !!!!!

Awesome Nikons!

For the price these Aculons are impossible to beat. They are not waterproof but I doubt I'll need them for astronomy in the rain anyway! Visually these Nikons are very crisp and bright and a huge step up from department store varieties. Well done Nikon!
