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.

Awesome all around

I had the classic diamond back bunks for a few years, and they were starting to diminish, I could of sent them in but I saw these new ones come out and liked the sleeker look, in my opinion they look and feel like the razors but not as pricey. That’s why I got them, cause vortex makes great quality stuff no matter what! And I’m able with their products go off of looks more than quality, cause it’s all quality! Thank you vortex for providing my favorite pair of binoculars!

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.

Steiner 7x50 Marine

This is my third pair of Steiner Binoculars and in my opinion are by far the best buy in the lineup. To my untrained eye, the case and optics seem to be every bit as good and as rugged as the far more expensive Commander and Military/Marine models that I have owned in the past. Every time I sell a boat, I give the Steiners to the buyer as an incentive for buying the boat. And every time I do it I regret not having them and buy another pair! You can never go wrong with Steiner binoculars

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.

Not as advertised. NOT WATERPROOF

I did a little more research after buying. They are advertised by Academy as waterproof/fog proof, but they aren't.

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.

Nikon Aculon 10X42

I just recently purchased 2-pairs for x-mas gifts on the Black Friday sale at Academy. At nearly half off the purchase was a good deal. I have a friend that owns a pair and was impressed with the quality and clear optics. I deer hunt much of the deer season and own a pair of Nikon upper class binoculars. Needless to say I was impressed with the low light & clear optics the Aculon provided during a hunt with this friend. They are just below in size of larger 10X50s on the market but very ... read more Click to read full text of review titled "Nikon Aculon 10X42". convenient and light weight. The only draw back for me is that they are not water proof, however for the price Nikon provides a great deal in the Aculon optics. I score them w/4-Stars only because they are not water-proof... Great deal ...

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!!

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.

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"!!!

Aculon 10-22x50

These binoculars are worth the purchase price. The view is sharp at all focal lengths. Light weight, yet still hand holdable at maximum zoom, although I would recommend a monopod for extended viewing at 22x. The chromatic aberrations are minimal even in bright light. Great all around binocular.

Clear little binoculars

Bought these for around 15 bucks with the sole purpose of keeping an eye on the target while everyone sighted in their rifles for hunting season and was pretty surprised at the clarity to be so affordable. Sure it's not like looking through a $300 set of binoculars but they don't cost but a fraction of that so I'm pleased.

Great binoculars for the price

When I ordered the binoculars I did not expect much. I was very surprised how well they worked. They were very clear over the whole zoom range. They were clear at all zoom ranges. They are very light and compact and good quality. They do get a little darker at the higher zoom ranges but that is to be expected. All in all a great set of binoculars for the price

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!

Great size. Easy to use

Returned a pair of wind river due to the rubber covering deteriorating and became unusable. Leupold replaced with the rogue 8x25. I could not be happier with the binoculars and leupold great customer service.

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.

Me and all my children love these binoculars

My children used mine for deer hunting and all three of them liked them so well that they all wanted a pair. Have purchased a pair for each child to use while hunting

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.

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.

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!

nikon prostaff 7s

Excellent. Clear, great viewing area, able to identify deer better this season. 10x really worth it. Just enough weight to help steady viewing.

Very clear

Just had them a short time. Very happy with them. Great binoculars for the money.

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.

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.

13 years ago I bought a set of 8x22 Champs (I think they were called something else then) they were going strong (and probably still are) when I left them on the railing after a football game. Last month I when to the store to replace them but they didn't carry the 8x22 so I purchased a 10x36 Predator Pro's. They were longer and had to much magnification for what I was looking for. I returned them and ordered the 8x22's. The new model is black instead of gray like my old ones, I like the black ... read more Click to read full text of review titled "". better. The right side is a tad less resistance to moving compared to the left side but I can live with it. I love the size, the way they fit into my hand and the feel of these binoculars.

Not waterproof, but astronomy in rain is never a concern, is it?

I am impressed with all the Aculons, and these are no exception. For inexpensive units they never fail to amaze me, it's true. The diopter ring is indeed rigid, but it may be a plus doing away with a locking mechanism. Optically nice, clear, crisp. Lack of waterproofing is a real drawback if you live in a humid environment, because mold/milder/fungus otherwise will be happy to feast on the interior lenses and prisms.

Excellent !!!!

I didn't know what I was getting for such a low price, but I have to say that these are Awesome. I am so glad I purchased these. I am amazed at the clairity of this item. I love them and I know you will too.
