Sorry this is in this forum, I wasn't sure where to post a bino question but I figured precision rifle guys would have a leg up on higher-end glass than maybe some of the other areas on arf.
I am looking at 10x42 (ish) binos, in the $200 +/- range. I am presently comparing the older Steiner Hunter (on Midway for under $200 clearance) to the Leupold Acadia 10x42 ($197) and the Vortex Diamondback 2 ($229)
All have essentially the same features and fall into my price range. I do not have a place that I can go to get hands (eyes) on all of these, so I am hoping some of you in the fold might be able to help me out.
My guy says Steiner, but then Midway has them on clearance because they are a discontinued model, and the (maybe) more modern Leupold and Vortex might have better coatings/contrast/etc
Comments welcome.
