I have a pair of Steiner Bighorn, 9x, I picked up back in the 80's I believe, and have been satisfied with them. I am sure coatings have improved, and I need a pair for my son. We use them for deer hunting, distances up to 400 yards, longer or for better definition we have spotting scopes.

Looking for something under $500, if that is reasonable. Looking at the reviews I see more "bird watchers" use these, or at least are willing to give their opinion. Hoping for hunting experiences, not that bird watchers aren't glass snobs, lol.

Thank you

Allen
