Binoculars

[jamaldog87]

i am looking for some low cost Binoculars for spotting varmints at 200 yards or less and just shot range game watching. are BSA 8x21mm or some of the 12$ one that you can get at walmart alright for this?

Don't waste your money. You really cannot get a binocular for under $100 that's worth owning and you really need to move closer to the $250 range for a decent one. If they are less than $100 they honestly just aren't likely to be worth owning. There might be some I'm not aware of in that range that would do in a pinch but if you are actually gonna use them spend the money or do without.

Honestly taking binoculars predator hunting became more of a pain since 99% after I do my call sequences I have my scoped rifle at the ready on bipods.

Every time I took my binos I never used them and when I did I though "what if a coyote shows up close... I wouldn't have time to shoot it before it takes off running".

If you really must snag a pair of binos then try the Pentax or Nikon Prostaff series.  They will cost you between $120 to $170, but they will actually be quite nice.

Good luck on your decision.

i dont carry binoculars when im predator hunting but i did just pick up some leupold yosmites (8x30) for about 125 bucks that i really like really clear glass and easy to adjust but im not a optic guy so take that for what it worth
