Good binoculars for under $300.....

[Bill Kiene semi-retired]

Our good buddy Malcom Fea is a birder and photographer and an expert on binoculars having some personally that are over $2,000.

I asked him today what his recomendation is for a reasonably pair of binocualrs that are in a good useful full size...not a compact.

He said the Nikon Monarch series binoculars in 8 x 42 are under $300

Roof Prism, manual focus, 100% Waterproof/Fogproof; Phase-correction coated high index prisms; Fully multicoated lenses for bright, clear images; Ultra rugged, rubber-armored design; Twist-up eyecups for easy viewing; Long eye-relief for eyeglass wearers.

I think I will put a pair on my wish list.....

We don't carry them......

Thanks Bill,

I was just going to research a new pair. I'm tired of my compact binocs...

I have two of those Monarch's - they are excellent. They are sort of the gold standard for birders and have been for more than 10 years. Can't really do better for the price so far as I know (though I haven't looked recently).
