Hello all,

I am looking for a medium grade pair of compact binoculars. Something kinda like a Vortex Diamondback 10x28 or comparable, but used. I prefer something that is discounted for cosmetic reasons, but glass has to be good. Looking to buy something around or south of $100. Must be compact, and must be at least 8 power. 10 to 12 is preferred.
Please PM me with what you have to offer.

Here is a link to the binos stated

Thanks for looking,

Just a word of advice but you might want to do a head to head comparison with 8x28 vs 12x28. I think you'll be much happier with the lower power and you'll probably be able to see more detail as well as have better lowlight viewing..

I am using these just for 3d Bow shooting. So, 10 to 60 yds, but I do need to see detail (a quarter sized indent on a foam animal) in forest, low light conditions.

I am all for thoughts and advice. Thanks rrroae.

Leupold BX-2 Acadia Compact Binocular would be another nice option if someone has a used pair they dont need.

a pair of Pentax 10X24. Don't use bino's since I lost the sight in my right eye. $70 shipped.

If you don't find a pair here take a look at Doug's Minox open box sale. I was very happy with mine.
