Zeke-BE Report post Posted October 21, 2019 If you want really good Glass look into Athlon Cronus. Athlon has been getting into the Scope business with some really nice scopes that competes with the 2k scopes. I bought one and the next year they came out with 8x binos with the Cronus Glass. My brother had 500 dollars Pentax it it blew his out of the water. They just came out with the 10x and 15s. The 10x is on sale at Amazon for 374.00. This Glass will match up to any 1k type binos. Best bang for your buck with Athlon. They are trying real hard to get their foot in the door of the Glass world. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gr8fuldoug Report post Posted October 22, 2019 I am EXTREMELY impressed with the new Kowa BD II series. All under $450.00 with wide FOV's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZAV8ER Report post Posted October 22, 2019 Call and talk to Doug about the Kowa's. One of our local shooters raves about them every time I shoot his match. Doug also fixed me up with a deal on a ball head for my tripod. To start out I recommend something in the 10X42 range. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably the widest of the 10x42 options out there 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I lucked out though... A buddy of mine recently upgraded his binos and gave me a sweet deal on his older Fury 10x42s, so I'm picking them up this weekend. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
