Guys,

I'm seriously thinking about buying the 8x32's for deer hunting here in Michigan. I'm ok with the 31 oz weight as I will be sitting in a tree stand mostly while using them. Anyone have a pair that can shed some light on the quality of the optics?

I don't have them, but there is a review (Bushnell Fusion 1 Mile ARC Laser Rangefinding Binoculars) on Sniper's Hide that may help you. If this is the one you are talking about.

Also not sure what model you're looking at- If you don't need a rangefinding pair may I suggest Kahles 8x32, Austrian made, 22 oz. on sale @ Eagle Optics for $749. Just got a pair = superb. I have other Kahles glass and its all great.

I just sold my 8x42 Kahles binos here on this site.

Celestron has 2 new models in their high end Granite line that are real beauties and excellent value for the money. They come in 7 and 9 x33, being over 50 I love the 7X myself. These should retail in the USA for around the $399 mark. Yes they are Chinese made, but you'd never know it ina side by side comparison. FS
