dorianbuilders Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 Are there any decent binoculars around for about the £100 mark? I appreciate the more you spend the better the optics but in all honesty I don’t use them that much but could do with some this week. Thanks 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 I've got Hawke Nature Trek. Fantastic clarity. Retailing around £130. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 Have a look in your local cash converters etc .usually loads of good binos at good price . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpatten Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 I have a Hawke monocular. Half the price of binoculars but good quality.Depending what you need them for, consider the monocular option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMc Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 I got a decent deal on a set of Luger 10x50 binoculars similar to these: LUGER SW 8X40 BINOCULARS | eBay My father has a pair auto-focus, the ones i have are manual, but a are very clear, the x10 is a bit shaky just due to the magnification.

Walker570 Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 I have Hawke scopes on four of my rifles and a pair of large Hawke binos as well as my wifes and can only say they all perform very well and in my view very good value. I have shot animals with far more expensive scopes but funnily enough they all seem to die the same with my Hawks. I have in memory had two instances over probably 30yrs where a problem occured and the suppliers have been 100% and in one case where the scope was very old they sold me a brand new one at 50% discount. What more can I say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold an expensive set of Kahles binoculars, mainly through lack of use, and purchased the Nature Trek ones. I was very impressed with them, especially the difference in price range. Lifetime warranty as well. 1 hour ago, dorianbuilders said: Thank you What about the Hawke Vantage? Reason I ask is they have them in my local store The Vantage should also be a good set to have. I have Vantage scopes on some of my rifles and they are excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrastu Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 So I looked through some of the nature trek hawke binos 8x 25 and wasn't impressed. (I'm a big hawke fan of the scopes) I then looked through the endurance model 8x 25 and they are a significant step up for not a lot more money . I also have some 8x 32 mm frontier binos from hawke and these are superb . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorianbuilders Posted January 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 Thanks for all the replies guys. I tried the local cash converters website and they had nothing suitable so I went to a local shop, had a look through a pair of vantage 10x42 and 8x42 and went with the 8x 42 with a little bit of haggling down to £110.😜 Even though it was fairly dark I was really impressed with the quality! A big step up from my folding praktica ones that are about 30 years old! In all honesty the lifetime guarantee inc accidental damage was a big plus.👍 Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
