So I've got $500+ in rewards.  I really want a nice pair of Binoculars for every day use and that would be nice for the zombie apocalypse.

I strongly advise you to go to a local sporting goods shop and look through a bunch to get a feel for what you want.  Try to avoid fanboi claims and buying a pig in a poke.  Choosing optics is very subjective, what one guy likes, the next guy might not.

If in doubt, go with standard 7x50 field glasses, they will give the brightest view.  Avoid powers over 10x for handheld, or you should use a tripod for support.  Avoid a high power/low aperture combination (10x30s, etc.), they will give a relatively dim view.

You can get them sub $500 used from a few legit sellers on there.

Grab a set of Vortex Viper R/Ts so you can range the zombies targets.
