Looking for deer hunting binoculars under 400 yards, mostly swamps and brush. My budget is around $400. I would also use these for baseball viewing.

I have Leupold 6x30 and Vortex Raptor 8.5x32. They are ok. Looking for a little better in the low light.

I like the Vortex Diamondback HD 8x42. Possibly could go for the Viper 8x42.

I am intrigued with the Kowa BD 6.5x32. Has anyone used these compared to the Diamondback and Viper? Opinions? Thank you.

Have a look at the Meopta offerings. Excellent value.
Was sure I had a point when I started this post...

Konus 8x42 Emperor Open Hinge Waterproof Binocular - SWFA Outdoors    $88.76


I was surprised that the glass was as good as it was when I looked through a friends Konus spotting scope, because these are in stock and on sale I would probably try one of them while they are on sale.
