 "Birding with the Ranger, best bang for the buck!" 2010-01-25
By K. Black (washington)
Purpose of using Bin's: Birding



I bought these binoculars after researching/testing out many different models. I might have bought Monarch X's 10.5x45, Vortex Viper 10x42, or these bin's by Eagle Optics. After trying them all out, these seemed to be the best bang for the buck. As the others are quite expensive and the Rangers rival with, compete with, and/or are on the same level of quality as the Vipers and the Monarchs. I also took in consideration the better lifetime warranty and warranty service provided by Eagle Optics compared to the Nikon's 1 year warranty. Further note that as I am a college student, I naturally gravitated towards the cheaper pair. (I definitely think the Viper's are most likely worth the extra money, though.)



My first "fair" pair of binoculars were Nikon Action's 10-22zoom x 50. I compared the Nikon Action to the Ranger. I was looking a California Gull across the river my first day of testing the bins. Even zooming with the Nikon Actions, I was able to better identify the gull with the Rangers. (Of course, zooming causes light intake to diminish.)



I know the comparison is not a very efficacious illustration of the Ranger's quality. Nevertheless, considering the price and the power of the binoculars, they are worth every dollar.



I have read a review of the 10x42's recommending the binoculars after a week or so of research [...]. So here is the second review reiterating the point, that even after copious amounts research and testing these binocular's or the 10x42's are assured to deliver the best bang for the buck.



Peace,



Kevin

 "A Superb Value." 2008-09-19
By H. Moro (Mount Kisco, NY)
The very afternoon I purchased this binocular, I was at a hawkwatch gazing up at Broad-winged Hawks flying overhead. As dusk closed in and cold, gusty winds pushed the hawks ever higher, I was still clearly picking out distant kettles. Such clarity!



You can buy better binoculars, of course. But at this price, you'd be hard-pressed to find a roof prism binocular with better optics. Weighing only 27 ounces, they're surprisingly easy to handle given the size of the objective lenses. I recommend these! (For other kinds of birding, please consider the equally excellent Eagle Optics Ranger SRT 8x42 Binoculars.)



UPDATE: When I sent my binocular to Eagle Optics for repair, I was surprised to receive them back one week later with all problems corrected. The lifetime warranty on this binocular is top grade!

 "Eagle Ranger 10x42 Binoculars" 2010-05-09
By MobyMyster (Wild West Kansas USA)
I did a lot of research before choosing the Rangers. The choice was between these and the Nikon.

I've had mine about a month now and am very satisfied. One feature very important for me - since I

wear glasses - is the "eye relief" distance. The Rangers allow me to keep my glasses while viewing birds

or whatever. They are a nice size and weight with a sort of rubberized coating that aids holding. I chose

the 10x42's and happy that I did. I mostly use them for birding and hunting. ...HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

 "Eagle eye" 2009-11-30
By David Crall (San Diego, CA)
Great optics, light weight, reachs out to grab detail and de feathers. I use them for birdwatching and sports. Good value for money. Waterproof just in case. I used to hold a 10 pound rifle, (flint lock), so 10x is better for me than 8x. Friend with 8x often asks for a look. For long time views, a staff or walking pole can be used for a one leg "tripod".

 "Fantastic Optics" 2009-04-18
By E. Covart
I received these binoculars for my birthday. I wanted something more powerful than my 8x25's for bird watching. These optics are fantastic! They are so clear and powerful and the specs have them weighing less than their 8x42 counterparts. I wear glasses and they are comfortable to use with my glasses on. Without having to take my glasses on an off to use them, I can follow the birds and sight them much faster than with my old pair. Did I mention that the optics were fantastic? The crisp and clear image allows me to see the detail of each bird very clearly. I imagine they will be great for other hobbies as well. They come with a neck/shoulder strap and a case that can be used on one's belt.

 "Great Binoculars for field work!" 2008-11-28
By Falcongirl (In the Southwest)
I bought these binoculars for my research and field work and couldn't be happier! Most of the places I go are through thicket, scrub and dense vegetation and didn't want to spend a ton of money on binoculars that were bound to get dirty and banged around, as well as something that was lightweight. These are perfect for the range and distances I use them for to identify birds. They let a lot of light in so they work well for closeup viewing as well as birds that are soaring or flying overhead too. I chose these binoculars because I had borrowed a pair for a raptor migration assignment and in my opinion, performed better than any of the 1,000.00 and up binoculars that the other crew members had!

I am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend them to anyone wanting a good, sturdy and relatively inexpensive pair of binoculars for virtually any type of birding. Eagle Optics stands behind their products and they come with a lifetime guarantee.

 "Great Binos for Anyone" 2008-07-07
By Birder Rose (Virginia Beach, VA)
I work with birds and frequently go birding so I've tried out 6 or 7 different pairs of binoculars. These are the first ones I've bought for myself. I couldn't afford to spend $1500 on super binoculars and did a lot of research before purchasing these. I like that even though this pair is quite affordable, it has qualities of binoculars that are much more expensive: like nitrogen-purged fogproof lenses and being completely waterproof. They also have a close focus range of 5.2 ft. The other binos. in this price range mostly have a close focus of 13 ft. or farther. I have a smaller frame and find many binoculars to be bulky or akward to hold. I haven't had this problem and people larger than me don't find the grip too small either. I also like that the binoculars come with a carrying case, rainguard, obljective lens covers, and a padded neck strap. Additionally, the Ranger SRTs come with an amazing Eagle Optics Platinum Protection Warranty which is a transferable no-charge unconditional lifetime repair warranty so if anything ever happens to your binoculars they'll repair or replace them for free. I was debating between the 8x42 and 10x42 optics. I went with the 8x42s b/c I have trouble finding a bird with the binoculars after spotting them with my eyes. I found the 10x42s to have to much magnification that it took way to long for me to find and focus on a bird with 10x magnification. 8x magnification is more than enough. You can clearly see and indentify a tiny finch with the 8x42s.

 "Terrific Value and good overall" 2008-03-09
By Michael McKee (Port Townsend, WA United States)
Are these binoculars as good as a Swarovski, Leica or Zeiss? No. But then they are less than 1/4 to 1/5th the price of the top-of-the-line models. Are they good enough for the average birder? Absolutely.



Image sharpness and brightness are more than acceptable. At least 90% of the field of view is crisp. Color seems quite accurate and saturated. There's the tiniest bit of pin-cushioning and I notice a little bit of fringing in very bright light. Neither is enough distract me or make things harder to see. I didn't really see the pincushioning until a very good birder mentioned it and I soon stopped noticing anyway. Sure you could pay over a $1000 more and get 99.9% optical perfection, but I had to seriously consider if that gain in quality was worth the price. It's not now. Maybe when I retire and can spend lots more time in the field it might be, though I tend to get really attached to good tools, which these are. Anyway, these binoculars will not hold me back in the mean time.



They feel really nice in my hands. They focus quickly and accurately with one hand. Weight and size are about average for newer roof prism binoculars. The rubbery grip feels good, and they are nicely balanced.



And at this price I don't worry about them as much as I would a more expensive pair, though that doesn't seem to be an issue. I've dropped them when my hands were too cold to hold on. I've had them sit in saltwater on the bottom of a kayak. I rinsed them off in a restroom sink to remove the salt film and they just shrugged that treatment off. They come with a lifetime guarantee, anyway.



In absolute optical quality these rate at least 4 out of 5. Build quality, fit and finish are excellent. They seem military grade rugged. In terms of value they really can't be beat. I looked through a lot of binoculars before buying these. The comparably priced Nikon Monarchs, long the standard of budget conscious but quality seeking birders are neither as bright nor as sharp. And I saw nothing that noticeably beat the Ranger SRT's optics for twice the price and nothing at any price that seemed better mechanically.

 "Very competent basic birding binocs" 2007-06-27
By Marshal Berthier
Not top-of-the-line, but in the birding world top-of-the-line starts at around $1,500 U.S. However, if you are looking for well constructed glasses that you can take anywhere into the field I would get these.



Great especially for beginning birders and wildlife observers on a tight budget. I also have a pair of Leupold WindRiver Pinnacles, and another pair of Leupold Olympics and although they cost more, especially the Pinnacles, they are not quite as sharp as the Ranger SRTs. Construction-wise the SRT is made like a tank, and you won't worry about dings and dust.



I actually bought a pair of SRT's for my son to use in his college field work, and regrettably did a simple focus and sharpness comparison (the business card taped to a distant wall test) to my Leupold's. Fortunately, I got the Leupold's at an aggressive sale price so it didn't hurt as much, but if you paid list, you could spend twice as much and not get as good as the SRT.
