Extra-low dispersion
Lifetime
10x for open terrain and Western hunting. 8x for Eastern woods and stalking. 10x is the most versatile choice.
Extra-low Dispersion glass reduces chromatic aberration—those colored fringes around objects. Result: sharper, more true-to-life images.
$200-400 gets excellent hunting glass. Below that, quality drops noticeably. Above that, returns diminish unless you're hunting in extreme conditions.
