Question: "Anybody know where to get good binoculars cheap??"


....NO, anyway you slice it, cheap binocs are cheap glass, and good binocs are not cheap...

For $128, look at the Steiner's at Sierra's Trading Post...A good deal!!!http://www.sierratradingpost.com/xq...cial_type.sale/dept_id.L2~4271/qx/product.htm

Thought I saw them somewhere.....

Also check the local camera stores Last year's models can be pretty cheap for quality glass Some time back, I snagged a set of Leica 10x25's for $200 new in the box. I was lucky for sure that day, but it could happen to you...

I really like Opticsplanet http://www.opticsplanet.net/ . They have great prices on red dot sights as well.

Another option to look at are the Pentax UCF series-- great optics, stout design and a very good price

I will also offer up the Olympus Tracker as a remarkably sharp, compact, lightweight and affordable binocular.

I acquired both an 8x and a zoom edition of the Olympus from Binoculars.com as they matched my best internet price, were prompt and took care of me well.

Having reviewed both editions, I would not recommend the zoom as I found the internal mechanics were a bit tough to use, but the 8x received very high marks from me. Thus, consider the Olympus Tracker PC I 8x25 in your search.

I bought a pair of Barska Atlantic 10x42 roof prisms from Cabela's. They were fifty bucks, and I'm pretty pleased with them.

I didn't want a really expensive pair because I'm prone to losing things (I still can't find one of my 35mm cameras with a $200 28-200 zoom lens on it). D'oh!

If you want to go super-cheap, try a pair of Simmons Red Line 10x50 binoculars from Wal-Mart for about $25. They're really pretty good in low light.
