Are there any really good 7X binos available?

I use Meopta Meostar 7x42's. I think they've been replaced in the Meostar lineup with a 7x50 Meostar model. I love everything about the 7x42's except the weight....doubt the 7x50 is any lighter.

The new Kowa BD II 6.5x32 with an AMAZING 10* angle of view, 525 feet at 1000 yards, are certainly worth a look. I was astounded how nice they are

I have a Swarovski 7x42 SLC. They are outstanding. They were a 90's model that were upgraded to the latest prisms, lens, coatings, in 2014 by Swarovski. I bought them used, 2 months ago. I'm done looking for binos!

Meopta Meostars are very very nice and built like a tank. I would look at those or Swarovskis. The Bino Doug suggested looks like the winner in price/value

Me too. They are simply outstanding. It's too bad they discontinued them about a decade ago.

I have a pair of Steiner 7X50 Marine binoculars that get used regularly.


It's official. I missed the selfie deadline so I'm Maser's sock puppet because rene and the Polish half of the fubar twins have decided that I am.

I've got an old pair of Bushnell Chuck Adams Bowhunter binos in 7x36. Perfect for the thick OK whitetail hunting I normally do. FOV is outstanding and the 7x is great for the areas I hunt. Never thought I needed more than a 36mm objective to gather light from my normal treestand hangs. However I do take my Leupold 8x42's when I travel to CO elk hunting every Sept.
