As we head into fall, many of us know how valuable a good quality set of binoculars can be in our hunt. The main question you need to ask yourself when binos start to cost more than guns is: how will I use these in the field? Will you be glassing for mountain goats that are 1,000 yards away on a mountain side? Or, will you be watching whitetail deer in a field that are 200 yards away or less? Do you need tripod compatibility? When the cost of binoculars are near $2,000 you need to decide where to draw your line. All of the binos from SIG Sauer are worth it to the right person. Simply figure out your personal use and go from there. As always, let us know all of your thoughts in the Comments below! We always appreciate your feedback.
