Blue1111 Report post Posted September 28, 2014 I'm preparing for my first big game hunt (Arizona Whitetail) and need a decent set of binos (but nothing fancy). My budget is pretty small since it's my first year and I've had to buy a lot of equipment (as everyone knows I'm sure). I've looked at buying Carson 10x42 3D ED glass or the Busnell Legend Ultra HDs. Both of these range from $200-$260 new. I'd like to keep costs around that range. If anyone has something better and used that they are willing to sell I would be interested. Thanks.

Norteno Report post Posted September 28, 2014 You could buy these for $90, same warranty as Vortex, and start saving up for a pair of high-end binos. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/52189-alpen-pro-10x42-model-385-new-in-box-100/?fromsearch=1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
