        <![CDATA[ Guys,


I got a call from my Asian friend this week and it seems he&#39;s coming over in a couple of weeks.  If the trip to Australia still happens, I&#39;d like to
take along a set of binocs.


I&#39;ve never been a fan of the smaller sets, but since I only intend to carry 1 bag (carry on) I&#39;ll need something smaller.   Although I really liked the
large ones Parallax Bill had at the June 2008 match in Charlotte.


Any suggestions?

			<description><![CDATA[ In my former job at Gander Mountain we had many brands I would have to recomend the leupold windriver 10x50 very clear glass and better than the $1500 and
$1900 schorafskys (I know I spelled that wrong). For a little over $200 they are great. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have a pair of Nikon bino&#39;s I use for hunting now, they are very good for the price of around $200-250.00 but they are a bit large if your cramped for
space. I would still consider them a first choice if you plan to look through them much. Quality glass and large lenses make all the difference in the opinions
and memories you will have of what you are looking at. I am not saying go out and buy or take a set of Ziess bino&#39;s  but good glass can be bought for under
$300.00 and you... ]]></description>

they were $10 at Knob Creek 5+ years agao and they work good enough for me plus they don&#39;t take much space. Bill ]]></description>

They are excellent quality binoculars and are absolutely tiny. You can easily put them in your pocket and forget they&#39;re there. Be sitting down when you
ask about the price, though...

I also have an old (20+years) set of Nikon rubber-coated, waterproof compact binoculars. The price was quite reasonable (at the time, anyway) and to this day
are my... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have a well used set of Tasco 10x25&#39;s that I bought at a swap meet for $5.00 maybe 12 years ago. No they are not anywhere near as bright and clear as any
of the good brands of normal sized binocs, but they have always done the job very well. Armour coated, they fold up into a little belt case that will fit into
my shirt pocket when not on my belt. For such a trip, I think they would be hard to beat for under several hundred dollars. I have used several pairs of high
end binoculars over... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have several pairs of 1960s-1970s vintage Japanese made binoculars I have brought at thrift shops, the most I paid for a pair was $25.00. One of my
favorites is my 1979 vintage K-Mart &quot;Siam Cat&quot; rubber coated 7x50s. As if heaven forbid you should misplace them or lose them, you won&#39;t be
Singin&#39; the Blues. A few years ago I bought some PRC made binoculars at K-Mart, they were poor quality. Optics OK, mechanics lousy. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Obviously, a subjective subject.  Having used cheesey binocs over the years, because of my inherit frugality, I surprised myself with a pair of surplus Czech
D-6 binocs from Tennessee Guns.  Really extra clear and sturdy 6x30&#39;s.  Cost around $125. and compare with commercial types costing much more. ]]></description>

<br>
Steiner, Nikon, Pentax, Olympus, Canon, Leupold, Swarovski

I&#39;ve got some 8 x 40&#39;s from Olympus that I got at an estate sale. They&#39;re much better than my old Bushnell&#39;s....bright and clear. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ According to the hunting magazines, spending anything less than $500.00 will only buy you junk.  I&#39;m a bit more frugal and ordered a pair of Bushnell H2O
waterproof binos in 8X.  I don&#39;t spend hours glassing like the guys in the mags. claim to do, but for general varmint hunting they&#39;ve served me well.
