New Bino's

[Whitetail77]

thinking 10x42, or 8x. Leaning towards 10x42. Swaro's, or Zeiss...I think. Where's the best place to buy in Edmonton?

[absk]

I bought a pair of 10 x 42 EL's from Cabela's in Edmonton four weeks ago. Price was around $2,700 I think. The binoculars came with the case, straps, camera attachment etc. There are some online stores which have slightly cheaper pricing but I like to see/handle what I am buying.

I'm looking for a pair of 10x42's as well, and was able to handle a few pairs at BassPro last weekend finally. I'm looking to spend around $500 so I'm not sure if my thoughts will help you or not. I compared Vortex, Leupold, and Zeiss Terra HD's , and I like the Zeiss the best. Bass Pro is about $50 cheaper than Cabelas on all the models, but I think Cabelas will price match ( I have Cabelas gift cards). Online, I couldn't find any significant savings on new ones (Cameraland NY has demo's for less money), so I'll probably buy from Cabelas if they come down in price, or at BassPro next time I'm down there.

I got a pair of Nikon Monarch 3's when they came on sale at cabelas last month... 10x42 and I love them... I think theyre only 400 ish regular and on sale they were 300.

and what do you know... Checked the cabelas website and theyre on sale again.

Are the Swaro's $1,500 nicer than the $500 bino's?

I've been using a pair of swaro 8x56 for more than 15 years now, swaro is a good as it gets.






and it gets good

Leica 10 x 42 Geovid HD-B are by far the best! If anyone is interested I have an extra pair, still in the box. Will sell for what I paid -$3095 USD!

Bought 10x42 Zeiss here in gp on sale for 1800. Awesome binos.

CameraLand has Swarovski 8x42 EL Range for $2600.00 or Zeiss Victory 8x45RF for $2150 in the Demo/Sample tab. You can't go wrong with either of those 2 and they include the rangefinder!

I love my 15x45 zeiss just sorry there is no range finder in them, but these bino's are nice.

If you are a member of Canadian Gunn Nutz Camera Land NY will give you new in box at there demo prices. I have bought several things from them, range finder, spotting scope and bino's, great folks to deal with.

Bartons in GP still has 10x42 Zeiss Victory on for $1800 brand new.
