Leupold Rogue Binos

[Howie]

Does anyone have these binos? If so, are they any good? Bass Pro has them on sale at $220 for the 10X50's, and I cannot find any reviews on the 'net. Thanks gents.

What are you using them for? I have a pair of Nikon Action EX 10x50s which are around the same price point. They are excellent binos for birding, scouting or a short scenic hike. The views in a 200 and some odd dollar porro bino will be better than the 300 and some odd dollar roof bino. With a porro you also get added depth perception for that 3D effect. The added depth perception also helps in think cover. Another plus is 10x50 porros are great for astronomy if your into that sort of thing. The double cluster in perseus is great in binos, guys go take a look! The downside is the 10x50 porros are big. I don't use mine for hunting or for long tough hikes, they are simply too big and get in the way, not to mention the extra weight. If this is going to be the only bino you invest in look for an 8x42 roof at the same price point. Those Leupold Acadias would be a good place to start. Once you have your 8x42 then you can start looking at the 10x50s and a compact pair as well.
