Looking to buy new or used binoculars that are somewhat compact and nothing over 42obj with range finder or without.

If I could pickup something good new or used around $1500 or less with range finder I'd prob buy them.

If not just good quality Binoculars without range finder under 1k.

What should I be looking at brand wise guys .

Thanks Mark
 
I just went thru the same exercise. Considered Zeiss, Swarovski, bushnell and leica. Was really impressed by the bushnell fusion 1 mile. A total step up from the previous generation. Great glass. For the money I don't think it can be beat. $1,200 for the ten power.
 
I also went through the same deliberation process and bought the Bushnell Fusion 1 Mile Arc in 10X42. I am very happy with them and recently had to opportunity to range targets with someone using a Swarovski LRF only and every distance out to 1000 yards was within a few yards between the two units. Every target was ranged handheld by two different people. They will get the job done.
 
Well guys instead of spending 2k on binos with range finder to keep in my truck I decided to just use my Zeiss ranger finder and bought some binos.

I happen to stumble onto some new Steiner Nighthunter XP 10x42 for $599 which is under cost.

From reviews I found on them u expect they will be awesome and give you a small review once I recieve them.

Normal pricing on them was 850-1k so they should be great quality .
 
I use a pair of Zen-Ray PRIME HD binoculars as a backup for my Swarovski EL binoculars. For under $619, the quality is quite amazing. Another one to consider is Zeiss Conquest HD
