It is time for me to actually buy a new pair of binoculars. I have researched them forever but am having a hard time finding actual pairs to try out. I have been to all of the National Camera stores including 55 & 169. They have a limited stock with only one or two of a few brands but not the various powers of each brand. Is there a place in the cities area where they have a huge variety in stock to try them out? It is a big investment and I don't want to settle. I currently have 8 year old dog-leg Swift Audubons and love them but I would like some 10x with excellent optics and but not the sea-going 5 pounders. Anyone have any suggestions of where to go to try them all out.
