I have Eagle Optics, They make the Vortex also. They have a website and are very helpful. Give them a call.

Celestron Nature binoculars. I've had several different brands and these have the best light gathering ability of any on the market no matter the price. These guys started as a telescope company so their opticss are excellent.

The 9x63 SkyMasters are good if you are looking for a little bigger option

1+. I can't tell you what's the "best" binocular in the $200 range, but I can tell you I've been very pleased w/ my latest binocular purchase, a pair of 12X50 Vortex Diamondbacks. I'd been watching their prices for about 8 mos at $210 when Cabela's discounted them to $160. I jumped on them. They were my main binocular on 2 prairie dog- hunts this yr. I was NOT disappointed. Glassing prairie dogs for 8-10 hrs/day is a good test for binoculars. You'd be hard pressed to find a better pair of binocs in your price range. What magnification are you considering?

My brother-in-law gave my son a pair of Bushnells last year for his birthday last year. I know they are the Legend model, but not 100% sure of the "series". But I think these are them.

They are the clearest binocs I've ever looked through. Granted, I've never looked through a pair of high-dollars ones.

I really like my Vanguard Endeavor HD 10x42, but can't speak whether they're better than the Vortex.

Paid $250 for them but had a $50 manufacturer rebate.

Vanguard 4.8 of 5.0 stars

Vortex 4.8 of 5.0 stars
