I don't know enough about binoculars to rate these as a BEST, but they are certainly the nicest I have looked through. I really liked the feel of the AE, over the standard bino's of the same power. OP.com made the whole experience that much better with great customer service and fast response times.

The Nikon 16x50 binoculars met all my expectations...powerful and made for extreme environments. I use them both on shore and in the boat and with the attachment for the tripod, land use is very easy. Great Nikon quality!

I bought these binoculars to replace my spotting scope for hunting and spotting during target shooting. I had read numerous reviews about binoculars and Nikon AE binos kept coming up as a good buy with sharp optics. So, I bought the 16x50 and I have not been disappointed. The image through the binos is sharp and clear and for the price I don't think you can go wrong. I liked these binos so much, that I also bought the 7x50 version for astronomy use. They also are a best buy.

I have had two pair of the Action Extreme 16X50. Both pair have developed problems in the first year. I was luck on the first pair, it was in the first thiry days and the store took them back. The second pair was seven months and NIKON WOULD NOT WARRANTY THEM. SO MUCH FOR A "NO FAULT REPLACEMENT/REPAIR POLICY" (PRINTED RIGHT ON THE BOX). SO MUCH FOR A "25 YEAR WARRANTY" THAT DOES NOT COVER LENSES ON THE INTERIOR OF THE SEALED BINO COMING LOOSE AND FLOPPING AROUND.
