A great bang-for-the-buck porro prism binocular, the Nikon 10x50 Action Wide Angle Porro Prism Binocular series by Nikon feature knobby rubber armored housings. Their high-refraction prisms feature wide fields of view. And every Action model has a tripod adapter threading for easy extended glassing from a stationary position (requires optional tripod adapter #7650). The 10x50 model, with its broad 5mm exit pupil, is ideally suited to high powered lowlight observations. Their performance in twilight is commendable.

All of Nikon's binocular line is backed up by the No-Fault lifetime warranty. Regardless of what happens to your binoculars-even of your own negligence-Nikon will repair or replace (at their option) your binocular for just $10 plus the return shipping costs.
