SEshooter Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 I know it's probably been asked befor but I'd like to know what people think are the best binoculars on the market for under £250? I will be using them for wildfowling and pigeon shooting. Thanks SEshooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oscarsdad Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Look up the reviews of the Hawke Frontier EDs - loved by twitchers and I bought a pair and they are really great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Leupold 8x42 Cascades -fantastic glass for the price!!Wouldnt part with mine!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vipa Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Bushnell Legend. Precise model to suit your funds. +1 The new legend Ultra HD belie their price.. optics not far removed from top end stuff and can be had for sub 250.. magnesium chasis, nitrogen filled etc... I have had Leica Geovids, Zeiss Victorys and Minox HGs.. wouldn't put them massively ahead of the Bushnells! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that's the pair I had in mind but just wasn't sure what they were currently selling for. I have a pair and they're exactly as Vipa says.

SEshooter Posted November 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Has anyone used or owned a pair of mistral binoculars? My local rfd sells them and gives them good reviews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_magicfingers Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 The Vanguard Endeavour ED 8x42 seem to be very well reviewed wherever I've looked. I just bought a pair for my girlfriend for christmas. Amazon have them for £250 but Vanguard currently have a £40 mail in rebate running on them, which makes them even better value. Worth a look perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cawdor118 Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 I use a ancient pair of Steiner binoculars that were handed down to me and I think they are fantastic. German quality at a good piece. Check eBay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
