Bushnell Forge Binoculars suprisingly nice!

Recommended Posts

Btw $380

Long story. Bought used Weaver optics had defect so mailed in. Bought Leupold which was a scam and got ripped off in a way i didn't know was possible thru ebay and paypal but maybe save that whole story for later *it took 5 weeks to get $ back.* 

Ended up with other glass and Weaver no longer makes Super Slam binoculars so they said would replace with sister company glass "Bushnell" i was skeptical!!!

 

So i researched and decide the Forge then they came back and said would replace with the Forge. Now in hand and not really needed i must say Bushnell has come light years from where they were!!! Does anyone else have a set? What are your thoughts for a relatively affordable set of binocs like this Bushnell Forge? Say what even if you don't like the binoculars you got to admit they hit an absolute home run with their packaging LOL I was blown away when I got them in the mail. It does kind of suck at their retail is about half what the retail on my Weaver Super Slams were but I would say the quality is very similar and feel quite similar in hand.

I think the quality that Bushnell is putting out these days is crippling the Swarovski line. A lot of people are taking notice of Forges and quickly switching and finding more deer and bigger bucks.

Ha ha but they did come out with 15x56 i was shocked to see that. I have the 8x42 and they are nice but i highly doubt 15's are worth a look but who knows. :)

This guy has ‘copy and paste’ down to a science anytime someone comments on a bino brand other that Swarovski. Haha

It would be interesting to compare head2head these newer 10x42 binoculars that are sub $1k like these Forges, Kowa Prominar, Tract Toric, GPO Passion, Athlon Cronus, Nikon HG, etc

Ok anybody else have relevant input? Anybody own them? It is ok, i am sure more guys on coueswhitetail.com do not own all swarovski then do. 

 

And Amanda you really need to make it so that the ignore option blocks ignored people from commenting on the post of the person who chose to ignore them 👍 we choose to block people for a reason.

How do you know their post isn't relevant or helpful if they're blocked?
