Re: Glassing bino's
Here's another vote for Vortex. Probably the best value ($ to quality) in the market. If your looking to make out racks at 1500yds, I agree you will need a spotting scope and stabilization.

Re: Glassing bino's
Well I got the 15 X 70 stargazing bino's. They seem to be a great & very cheap ($60) alternative to a spotting scope. I just got them in yesterday so I have limited use, but it looks like the range is going to be just over a mile. A steady prop is key to being effective at the long ranges. I rigged mine on a homemade camera arm.

Not to good for climbing since it tops out at 9', but it's nice to have around for testing out stands.

Very true. There is a ton of outdoors gear available that is not marketed towards hunters that is much less expensive than what you see in hunting magazines. I get a lot of hunting supplies from a Ben Meadows and Duluth Trading Company.

Re: Glassing bino's
Those things are huge! :) As others have stated, I love my Vortext binos. Can't beat the lifetime warranty either.

Re: Glassing bino's
They are 3lbs & almost a foot long - not made for neck wear!!!!
These are Celestron Skymasters they also have a lifetime warranty. I had emailed a rep with Celestron before ordering these at Best Buy. I questioned the difference between their sport & stargazing optics. The response was stargazers have better glass, but of course the sports are built compact & light.

Re: Glassing bino's
I'm also for Vortex. You can't beat the quality, price, and warranty!
