Bushnell infinity 8.5x45

JimBow · Guest

i want to get hunting binos. Roofs have nicer handling, so i guess I have to spend a decent amount to get them
i have been looking at the
Swift audubon 828
Bushnell infinity 8.5x45
Nikon Monarchs 10x42
Vortex Diamonback 10x42
Bushnell legend 10x42

I reckon that the price on the vortex is lower, but my question really was, is the infinity better than the Audubon, optically speaking... with the rebate I can get it for 100$ less.
thanks
Any opinions on the other ones??

Hi

Not better, no, just a difference in body style, which, in turn, affects handling. Optically, you will not do much better than the Swift 828 at that price. It is no slouch, either, in the handling department. Your call as to which body style you prefer.

Are the Bushnell infinity's better than the legends? the legends seem to have rainguard... what is the difference in between them?
they will be used for hunting.

Hi

Same answer as above - difference in body style. Not really a better, just a matter of which style you prefer. Optics are similar.
