What is a good set of binoculars under $200.00? Heading to the mountains in July and wanting to get something that is decent. I've bought cheap ones, and they're pretty much impossible to use as the field of view is really hard to get focused.

Nikon Monarch ATB 10x36. If you look around you can sometimes find under $200. If not, they're around $219-229 If you can afford a little more, Bushnell Legend Ultra HD 10x42 is a good pick!

Two excellent choices for the price.

I bought a set of Nikon Monarch 10x42 a couple of months ago for $169. I just went back and looked and they are no longer available. I have been very happy with the performance...

Helluva price. I love Nikon Optics. For the shooting I do they are really bright, affordable, and clear.

I got a Nikon Trailblazer 10X50 for $109.00 on an internet discount site. Really good as far as I can tell.

Just don't make the mistake of looking through a pair of Swarovski El 10x42's. Everything you look through after that will look like chit!
