It has become very apparant that I need a pair of binoculars for my hunting endeavors.
Unfortunatly, the budget is extremely tight right now, with a new baby and my wife no longer working, plus I recently got a hunting rifle and other hunting gear.
That leaves very little left in my budget for binoculars.
So basically, I am left with the choice of getting either the Pentax XCF 8x40, or the Nikon Action 8x40. As you can see, my budget is really low. I could probably up the budget enough to get the 10x50 of either brand. So basically, right at $100.
I know that really isn't enough to get a quality set, but otherwise I am left with no binoculars, or extremely compact pair that I can't see through, since I wear glasses.
So what do you think?
Nikon or Pentax? 8x40 or 10x50? If it matters, I am hunting in Western Oregon for Deer, Elk and Black Bear. Anything else that you can suggest that is in my measly budget?
Thanks in advance all.
