I am looking at getting some new bino's, but there are sooo many out there. I haven't done much big-game hunting and what I have done, I've done just fine with Tasco's or some other cheap off-brand. I think right now I have Bushnells or something cheap, and they aren't great, I have a hard time with them.

I talked to my buddies who are into big game hunting and they all spent at least $1300 on the binoculars and $1800 on their spotting scopes. I really just want to shoot a deer to have the food from it, and enjoy the hunt. I am thinking I want to spend much less than that.

What are good recommendations around $200, or should I just swallow and buy something more expensive?
