BURRIS SIGNATURE SELECT BINOCULARS - Available in 8x42, 10x42 and 8x56
$336.50

Bino's are on my short list. I'm way past being satisfied with the cheap Costco blister pack set I've had for years now.

Whattya optix geeks think of this deal?

Sounds good. If you don't go with camofire, have a look at cameralandny.com They have some very, very good deals: there is a screaming Minox scope and Bino package at the moment, and the Pentax scope+bino deals are very good too.

I receive their e-mail flyers. When I get a minute later, I'll upload the latest bino deals. If you want something, call Doug or Neil and tell them Denis from theguncounter.com sent you.

OK, catching up.

I hope I don't sound like a shill for CameralandNY. I have purchased from them twice now (four scopes and a pair of binoculars). I am impressed with the prices and the quick service. They are most helpful on the phone, and they are willing to negotiate a deal for something particular, and to give you their advice on and impression of various products. The "ex-demo" deals on their website are particularly good. I ordered three ex-demo Pentax scopes, and they sent me new ones for the same price because I had ordered several.

Here are the offers I got recently. They also often have a special on Hunter Trading Post (scroll down).
Have You Looked at Steiner Binoculars Lately?

One personal observation. I find 10x binoculars are very hard to use in the field, unless you have a tripod or something stable to rest them on. If you need low-light capability, I find 8x56 are about right, otherwise 8x42 for daytime use. I have a quite nice Minolta 7x30 pair, which are very portable and quick to use, but they are not so good at dusk and dawn, when I happen to want them most...

I thought this article about hunting with Big Eye binoculars was interesting. If I wanted a set of "big eyes", I'd go for the Minox 15x58 ED BR. I ordered the smaller version, the Minox 8.5x52 for myself - I think they should be a decent compromise bwtween low-light capability and portability.

Another good deal for Binos is Fujinon's 7x50 Armored Milspec Binos. They're under 250 bucks(300 w/ reticle), and are a fantastic deal. I want a pair of them.

Have a look at Holger Merlitz' page. He's a professor of physics and has lots of good binocular-buying advice. He has a side by side review including the Fujinon 7x50.

Of the three choices, I would go for the 8x56. The Navy's standard underway watch glasses are 7x50 for good reason, (but you already knew that, didn't you? ;) ) optimum balance of magnification and light-gathering capability.

I have a 16x50 Bushnell pair that I use for wildlife viewing at home but my field binocs are all 7x or 8x. Like Denis, I find that the higher powers require a rest to use.

I grew up as a backpacker; I imagine that weight and size both increase price and/or diminish quality. In that $250 range, is there a pair of binoculars designed for backpacking? (I believe the military still uses the term LRRP, which would be the military equivalent of this activity.)
