Do yourself a favor and look at Stieners.

I've got buddies with Liaca's, Zies and Leopolds that for some reason keep borrowing my Stieners.

About $500 to $600.

Unless you are strictly hunting eastern Wa or plan on hunting Utah, Az or any other big time open country I'm not sold you need $1500+ pair of binos. If you can afford them then definitely get a pair of Swarovski's but if not you'll be very happy with a mid range pair.

I've got a few rules when it comes to shopping................

Leather boots come from Italy!
Optics come from Germany!
Firearms come from America!
