Eagle Optics 10x50 Ranger SRT Waterproof Binoculars SRT-1050-5 Review

(More customer reviews)Purpose of using Bin's: Birding
I bought these binoculars after researching/testing out many different models. I might have bought Monarch X's 10.5x45, Vortex Viper 10x42, or these bin's by Eagle Optics. After trying them all out, these seemed to be the best bang for the buck. As the others are quite expensive and the Rangers rival with, compete with, and/or are on the same level of quality as the Vipers and the Monarchs. I also took in consideration the better lifetime warranty and warranty service provided by Eagle Optics compared to the Nikon's 1 year warranty. Further note that as I am a college student, I naturally gravitated towards the cheaper pair. (I definitely think the Viper's are most likely worth the extra money, though.)
My first "fair" pair of binoculars were Nikon Action's 10-22zoom x 50. I compared the Nikon Action to the Ranger. I was looking a California Gull across the river my first day of testing the bins. Even zooming with the Nikon Actions, I was able to better identify the gull with the Rangers. (Of course, zooming causes light intake to diminish.)
I know the comparison is not a very efficacious illustration of the Ranger's quality. Nevertheless, considering the price and the power of the binoculars, they are worth every dollar.
I have read a review of the 10x42's recommending the binoculars after a week or so of research [...]. So here is the second review reiterating the point, that even after copious amounts research and testing these binocular's or the 10x42's are assured to deliver the best bang for the buck.
Peace,
Kevin

(More customer reviews)Not top-of-the-line, but in the birding world top-of-the-line starts at around $1,500 U.S. However, if you are looking for well constructed glasses that you can take anywhere into the field I would get these.
Great especially for beginning birders and wildlife observers on a tight budget. I also have a pair of Leupold WindRiver Pinnacles, and another pair of Leupold Olympics and although they cost more, especially the Pinnacles, they are not quite as sharp as the Ranger SRTs. Construction-wise the SRT is made like a tank, and you won't worry about dings and dust.
I actually bought a pair of SRT's for my son to use in his college field work, and regrettably did a simple focus and sharpness comparison (the business card taped to a distant wall test) to my Leupold's. Fortunately, I got the Leupold's at an aggressive sale price so it didn't hurt as much, but if you paid list, you could spend twice as much and not get as good as the SRT.
