Bowhunter - Bushnell Legend 10x42 Roof Prism Binoculars 130142

To be honest, I simply couldn't see putting out more than $200-$300 for a pair of binos. This pretty much eliminated Zeiss and the other companies that start their lines above that range. After reading a lot of reviews and finding these at a great price from Optics Planet, the choice was easy. I've only had them for a short time but am please with my selection. I've been in rain and fog and they remain clear under some pretty bad conditions. I especially like the early and late day, low light viewing. I'm in the northeast and most of the places I hunt are heavily wooded which limits visibility to 100 yards or so. These do allow you to "look thru" some of the undergrowth and see things in the background. Not sure how they would perform at long distances out west or for viewing for long periods of time but would guess they would perform as well as anything else in their price range. One thing I would recommed would be that you consider the 8X42 if you really don't need the 10X magnification. They are slightly lighter, chearper and easier to keep steady. This is a personal consideration you'll have to make. I went with the 10X and I've been very happy with my choice....
Pros: They don't fog up...Good early and late, low light viewing...Price is reasonable
Cons: Haven't detected any yet
