Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Best binoculars for a 1000.00

I got $140 total in three binos bought from pawn shops. Leupold BX-3 Mohave 10x42, Pentax phase coated 8x42 DCF WP, and some cheap Bushnell H2O 10x42. All are fairly rugged and work well for me.
Can't see the value in dropping a grand or three in something that would only be a minute improvement. My eyes may not be discerning enough.

I am interested in an up-scale telescope though. Probably a Schmidt-Cassegrain, but maybe an acromatic refractor. And as soon as the Corona blows over, will probably start scanning craigslist for something I can trade into.
