Nikon is celebrating its centennial in 2017, and to celebrate the company has rolled out the latest iteration of its Monarch line in the form of the Monarch HG.

Nikon Sport Optics has announced its new LaserForce rangefinding binocular, which is designed to range distances from 10 to 1900 yards, with instantaneous readouts. Distances are displayed in 0.1-yard increments to 100 yards, and 1-yard increments over 100 yards. The OLED display offers a 4-step brightness adjustment, making it easily readable under any light conditions and against various objects.

Swarovski recently released yet another iteration of its famous EL binocular that doesn’t even try to improve the optics. Probably because it doesn’t have to.

Vortex Optics has announced its new Fury HD 10x42 Rangefinding binocular, which will be capable of ranging reflective targets out to 1600 yards.

At its core, the Steiner HX series is designed as an olive branch to the U.S. market—it packs high-quality German glass into a package that’s meant to be familiar to the American hunter, and at a price that’s upper-middle class yet not eye-popping.

Years ago Leica’s Trinovid was the binocular dream date. Crisp, sharp, clear, bright. Think of a word that describes a great binocular view and it was lavished on the Trinovid, one of the world’s top binoculars.

Nikon's PROSTAFF line of optics has long provided hunters with affordable, reliable binoculars and riflescopes. The latest addition to the series is the new 3S, which will be available in 8x42 and 10x42 models. Here are five things you need to know.

Designed to be offer a new class of hunting binocular, the HX Series incorporates some of Steiner's finest technology, all while trying to maintain a price point that American hunters could warm up to.

Hunters have so many good choices in mid-priced binoculars these days that arguing brands is as pointless as engaging in the ol’ .308 vs. .30-06 debate. The crowded and competitive nature of the $300-$800 bino market is a great thing for buyers—but not necessarily sellers. And so when I heard a new company named Styrka had entered the business, I had to question its approach. What more could Styrka offer in a bino with a street price of about $650 that’s not already available?
