allthegearandnoidea Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 I know a couple of people with them and they are very pleased with them. I've been thinking about getting a pair for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Found them very good on the sets I've used would not hesitate to get a pair in the price bracket with the warranty as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billytheghillie Posted August 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 I have looked at them along with Steiners and Minox, unfortunately I can not get hands on them to try out. Decisions, Decisions. £200 budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savhmr Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I tried a pair last month just out of interest. I wasn't impressed. They were only marginally better than the Hawke Endurace EDs which I didn't rate at all. The equivalent Steiners were MUCH better. I use the Steiner Hawk 3's (about twice the budget) and have yet to try anything in the same price band that would persuade me to change them. the more expensive Vortex bins might be ok but at that budget, there;s not many new bins bar few Opticron and Minox or Steiner models that I'd choose. Used buys better at that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colster Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 I was in the same place a while back, looked long and hard at the Diamondbacks and the Minox BV's Ended up buying these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Barr-Stroud-8X42-Waterproof-Binoculars/dp/B00E4HZOLK Have not been disappointed, for the money very good, particularly in last light, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
