I'm looking for a new set of binoculars. They'll be used for deer hunting in central Kansas, both open terrain and wooded areas. I have a bushnell excursion 10x42 and I like it okay. The glass is good enough for my uses. Their a little bit bulky while hunting but I can live with that. The 10x magnification seems a bit much.
So, now I'm thinking I should get a set of binos in the 8x30mm to 42mm range. I've been looking at the Redfield Rebel 8x32, I've been impressed with the new redfield scopes. I've also been looking at the cheaper Leupold binoculars.
Is there much difference between the leupold Rogue 8x42, Yosimite 8x30, Wind River Mesa 8x42, Wind River Yosimite 8x30? Are they good quality binoculars? Is there a difference in the Leupold warranty between the gold ring and green ring leupold products?
How are the vortex crossfire binos?
In this price range, is there much difference between the roof prism types, and porro prisms?
What would you suggest for a nice compact hunting bino in the $100-$150 range?
Thanks,
sven
