Which 10x42’s?

[Gary O'Neal]

I’m looking at binoculars for general hunting (less than 1,000-1,200 yards) and for pleasure. I’ve looked at the following and can get them for within $100 of each other. Anyone have any standout opinions on any of these?
Kowa Genesis 10.5x44
Meopta Meopro Air 10x42
Zeiss Conquest HD 10x42
Leica Trinovid 10x42
GPO Passion 10x42
Maven B1.2 10x42

I would throw in the Nikon Monarch HG's. I compared the Leica and Zeiss along side the Nikon's and to my eye, the HG's were the best of the 3. I have no experience with the other binoculars you were considering.

Tract Optics and don't look back

I’ve heard really good things about the Nikons and the Tract. I’ll have to take a look.

I made that mistake. None of them, 10 x 50 or bigger.

Tract in that price range, they perform much higher than their price point. My favorite 10x have always been Swarovski but they aren’t getting any cheaper.

Not sure how they fit your price point, but the image stabalizing Sig Binos ar awesome.

I have the Meopta and they are great but if buying now, it would probably be Tract.

10x is too much for my hand holding. Long as I have something to help steady them I'm ok.
