Spotting Scope/Binos

[Sniper1]

Got a little bit of money layin around i was wondering what everybody's thoughts are on this. I have decided on buyin some swarvozski optics but cant decide what to get or whats better for the buck. Do you think a pair of binos is more important on a hunt or a good spotting scope? To bad i dont 4 grand and i would buy both.

i would have top notch bino's before the spotter. they will get used a ton more and you can "get by" with a average spotter. we all know you dont neccesarily need the best of everything to be efficiant at glassing, although they do help

You will spend a ton of time on the Bino's and the spotting scope to decide how big something is. I would go with the good bino's first.

+1, I the best pair of binos I could afford, then bought a middle of the road spotting scope and both have served me well. Quality is nowhere near as important in my opinion when it comes to spotting scopes. But spare no expense when it comes to binos. ------------SS

+2 Bino's all the way.

Agreed with the rest, binos first...and I think the swaros are a great way to go. Bought mine a couple seasons ago and don't regret it one bit. Matter of fact, I can't believe I'd gone so long without binos of that quality...without a doubt its the best hunting purchase I've ever made!

Binos!

WOW guess i must be weird but i would take a top of the line scope over top of the line binos any day of the week.

Good luck on your decision, it wont be easy

9er,

That's cause you got to quit watching them on the mountain from your back deck.

Binos all the way. You can't always take a spotting scope with you but the binos go everywhere. I'd buy a great pair of binos and then buy the best scope you can with whatevers left.
