Which bin for 700$
Hi all, I'm a newbie in birdwatching and this is my first post.
First of all, I would like to apologize with all of you for my bad English...
So, here's the fact:
In July I will be in California for my honey moon, and I would like to buy there a bin, since the prices are quite cheaper compared to the ones in my country.
The questions are:
1)Which is the best bin available for about 700$ ? I was looking on Steiner Merlin ones, but I changed my mind since I've red not many posts about it... So would you please suggest me some other good bin for 700 bucks ?
2)Is there a good shop in California with reasonable price where to buy my bin ?
Thank you in advance for your help !
Regards to all

I am not sure which configuration you are considering but at the $700 price point, or slightly under, I would consider the following and not in any order:
1. 8x42 Vortex Razor
2. 8x32 Pentax DCF ED
3. 8x32 Kahles
4. 7x42 or 8x42 Meopta Meostar (some places have them close to that price)
5. 8x32 Nikon SE
6. 8x32 Nikon LX (refurbished)
7. Minox 8x33 or 8.5x42 HG
Maybe someone from that side of the country can suggest a place or two to look at some of these bins.
