Common questions
What are the best binoculars for hunting in Australia?
An 8x42 or 10x42 roof-prism model. On a budget the Bushnell Prime or Engage, Zerotech Thrive and Leupold BX-1 and BX-2 ($150 to $500) do the job; from $500 to $1,500 the Steiner Predator, GPO Passion HD, Leupold BX-4 and Zeiss Terra are the ones we recommend most; above that the Zeiss Conquest HD and Victory, Swarovski EL and NL Pure and Steiner HX are as good as binoculars get.
8x42 or 10x42: which should I choose?
8x42 gives a wider field of view, a steadier image and a brighter picture at dusk, which suits timbered and hilly country. 10x42 reaches further across open plains and lets you judge a head better at distance, at the cost of a little shake. If you glass mostly under 300 metres or from a vehicle, 8x; if you hunt open country or judge trophies, 10x.
Are rangefinding binoculars worth it?
For shots beyond 200 metres, yes; one unit replaces a binocular and a rangefinder and reads the distance while you are already looking at the animal. We stock the Zeiss Victory RF ($5,620 to $6,826), Leupold BX-4 Range HD, GPO Rangeguide, Steiner and Bushnell Fusion rangefinding models from about $1,000.
Do binoculars need a licence in Australia?
No. Binoculars, including rangefinding models, are not licensed items and can be bought by anyone and shipped Australia-wide.
Which binocular brands are in stock?
Bushnell, Steiner, Leupold, Zeiss, GPO, Tasco, Minox, Optisan, Zerotech, Meopta and Burris are on the shelf at Roseville Chase today. Swarovski and Vortex are currently ordered in from the Australian distributors; ask for a lead time.
