Joe.358win Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 I am looking to buy some new bino's for sambar hunting,and have my eye on some steiner predators 8x42.They go for $799 on binoculars.com.This seems to be a good price.Any other suggestions before I make my purchase.I have seen them in a shop,and they have also been recommended by a site member on a previous occasion.

7mmmag Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Check out the optic zone in the states, you can get them a lot cheaper than you quoted. The opticzone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john foxwell Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 I've got a pair of Bushnell excursion 8x42's coming from Opticzone as we speak. I've read some good things about them, but I'll know for myself in the next week. US$192 posted to me, A$395 advertised in a recent gun mag here. Whatever you decide on, you can save yourself some dollars by buying from the states. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
