Brunton binocs

[Mel Carter]

I seen a pair of the Brunton Lite Tech 10x42 in the sportsmans guide for like $79, regular $250. Does anyone have an opinion on this binocs. I've seen them advertise on the outdoor channel, but wan't some first hand experiances.

Thanks,

I have the exact same pair of Bruntons. You'r getting what you pay for. They are worth about $80. They are ok in bright lite, but not so good at dusk and dawn. They are also hard to focus.
