Just want to get my brother a gift. He does not hunt but would like a pair of non Chinese made binoculars that dont cost much. I know the SII BigSky are made in the Philippines and i THINK the Sightron SII WP series are too but not sure. We live very near a large farm with all kinds of things like elk, bison, ect ect ect. So nothing fancy is needed just to look a few hundred feet across the street and both are extremely well priced atm.
Main difference im seeing is the WP has porro prisms and the the BigSky are roof. The BigSky are also labled as Fully Multi Coated and the WP are descibed as Multi Coated so the BigSky glass may be slightly better. The WP i can get are about $15 less so the cost difference is basically nothing.
