Yo /out/, Texanon here. I was curious about adding a pair of binoculars to my gear. Uses would be for some birding and a little bit of hunting. Any recommendations with a budget of $75?

For cheap but decent, I really like my Bushnell H20 8x25s. They come in Bear and non-Bear.

>$75

If you are serious, Barska at Walmart.

But no. Wait until you are in the $400 range and start at Vortex.

Just don't be a dummy like me. I got 8x42mm binos and they're fucking great, especially in low light, but big enough and heavy enough that I don't want to take em out and don't want them hanging off my neck for a long time.

Great for spying on neighbors though, since they never leave the apartment.

Usually beaten to shit. You are talking about the german ones, FERO D12, right? Dont buy, they were made as a throwaway optic, cant be repaired, body is plastic.

I got the other D12 by Hensoldt, sells for around 100 to 200 Eurobucks, quite a heavy glass but virtually indestructible

Depends on what you consider semi-decent but yes you can.
