Im in the market for binoculars and I went to a local outfitters and was very impressed with how much better the olympic 10x50 looked than the monarch 10 x 42's.
..but I also see the pinnacle priced a tad higher than the olympics.
My original plan was to get a pair of non reticled leupold 10 x 50 tacticals, ( which seem to be olympics) , to me it would be worth the extra $80 over a set of standard olympic 10x50s to have them in a coyote brown with the molle style bino case.
but I see these pinnacles at the same price as the leupold tactical 10 x 50 and am wondering just how much better they could be.
the olympics say they have bak4/bk7 aluminum enhanced prisms and the pinnacles say bak4 silver enhanced prism.
I have heard that bak4 > than bk7 but the olympics say they are using both, not really understanding that part either.
any input here would be appreciated
