Looking for an "over-the counter" birdwatching binocular recommendation please

[nfafan]

Thanks in advance all!

Started into searches for binoculars in this sub-forum but will never live long enough to read it all...

I work on an upper floor of a building and the babe watching is good from that hide but it could be downright incredible. Found a Bushnell somethingx50 in Walmart that could probably reveal a wardrobe malf at that distance, but wonder if there is something even better.

Looking for a suggested pair that is easily found in-stock ready to buy at pretty much any Dunham's or Wallymart. Don't want to wait on mail-order and I want to see what I am buying first.. And want as powerful a pair as possibly found in an over-the-counter store. I did like the fast target acquisition the x50 provides.

Thanks!

I think you should look into something that can be mounted to a camera so you can share the babes! Err, I mean birds...

See Dick's for a good price.

Like nib?

Used and dinged will do fine.
As long as she's a straight shooter.

Like the foot with a vagina thing?

Google "vajankle". It's a good laugh, some people get their jollies in odd ways.

What you likely have is 7 X 50 or maybe 10 X 50. The first number is the magnification,the second is objective lens size. One thing to keep in mind is once you go over around 10X magnification, unless you have a rest, it is harder to hold steady, and your view is actually worse. The objective size affects how well the lenses collect light and affect viewing in low light situations.

My first pair was 8 X 30 which was a nice balance between power and size. A bit more discreet if you will, and much nicer to carry around.
