Frequently asked questions

Question: Are more expensive scopes worth it?

Because even cheap spotting scopes cost more than $1,000 on average and premium optics can cost up to $4,000, spotting scopes are among the most expensive outdoor equipment. That means you want to make sure you’re buying the best scope for your use. You often get the glass you pay for, so an expensive pair of binoculars may be worth it.

Q: Where are the best optics made?

For hunters who want a very clear, sharp image even beyond 400 yards, consider a European brand with the best in class optics. If you are looking for a model that combines excellent optical glass, a versatile reticle, positive turret movements and useful lighting modules, look at the European brands such as Zeiss, Kahles and Leica. But if you want decent glass and proven controls, plus a rock-solid, fully transferable warranty, look to American brands like Nightforce, Vortex and Leupold.

Question: Which magnification is best?

For general purpose binoculars, 10 power binoculars are considered the most versatile as they provide a good balance between field of view, compact size and viewing objects at long distances. If you only look at objects far in the distance, binoculars with 12 or 15 powers combined with a tripod are a fantastic setup. Or if you use your binoculars in tight spaces, an 8-power binocular is an excellent choice.
