$2700 for a pair of binoculars? Around here most folks just use a car and get lots of dear and elk.

My optics on my rifles are all Leupold. Love them and never had an issue. My binoculars are Vortex only because of them being on sale and cheaper than the Nikon I was looking at.
I need night scopes now though. Even with the bigger scope my eyes are getting old and cant see early morning.

Swarovski binoculars?

I enjoy trying them out at shows, but I do not buy them as I prefer staying married.

I have looked through Swarovski binoculars and they definitely have a wow factor. As others have said, just too expensive for me.

I have several used Nikons which were at one time top of the line. An old 7X50 Polaris with very worn leatherette but the optics are perfect. The range finding reticle is probably useful but I am getting too old to do the math in my mind.

I got an Army surplus Steiner and they also have the wow factor. A lot less expensive than the Zeiss etc.

As for Scopes, Leupold are the best for the money.
