New to the forum, my first post here. Currently live in Arkansas and looking to expand into western hunting. Trying to learn as much as I can to prepare and start building up my gear to transition from Whitetails to Western big game. Clothing and weapons not an issue. I think I have that covered. My first upgrade I’m looking at is Binos. My first question is what is best bang for bucks. I know swaro is top shelf, but would experienced guys recommend to save up and drop coin on those? Or is there another brand that can compete for less money. I see vortex everywhere and I don’t have any experience with them so I was wondering if I see them everywhere due to quality or marketing. And 2nd question, to avoid buying and carrying separate spotter and use binos for dual purpose what size would you recommend? Look forward to hearing others thoughts
