Are the Razor binos really crap?  Those are the binos I'm currently saving up for.   I'd heard good things about those.  Good thing I read this before I shelled out all that money. 
They are good binos! I personally think they are worth the $. When you are ready to buy shoot a PM.

 Leupold VX2 
PROVEN, crystal clear, no frills work horse
 Low profile turrents are less likely to take a blunt blow if dropped, kicked or banged.

The Sightron S2 is an excellent scope with a" no questions asked warranty "to any owner of the scope. I own a few of them and like the way the finish looks on them.

I'd go Bushnell Elite at that budget; at a 500-600 dollar budget I'd go Leupold VX-3. Lots of different opinions on here.

The scope I'd go with was already mentioned in the first post. The Burris FFII E1 would be my choice.
