“I haven’t found a binocular of comparable performance that weighs less.” NEEDS are often subjective. However, if you are looking for a glass which offers mechanical reliability, rubber armour, superior resolution, contrast, colour balance and lack of optical aberrations, there's a new brand called Stryka that deserves your serious consideration.
This new line of American-designed, China-manufactured optics lists four different levels of quality graded S3, S5, S7 and S9. A hunting binocular can cost more than your rifle. It can also be worth many times what it costs because the hardest part of big game hunting is finding game. In many instances though, you'll also need a spotting scope to properly evaluate its trophy value. More on that later.
A top-flight binocular helps you find more game and does it…
