On display at the 2017 SHOT Show were dozens and dozens of new shooting sports optics, as well as several dozen established optic lines that saw significant upgrades. The biggest push was for new riflescopes, especially tactical and long-range models. Various thermal, binoculars and night-vision units were on display, too. Shooting Sports Retailer was there to cover it all.

Remember when reading this story (and our riflescope and thermal and red dot posts) that the MSRP’s cited are only suggested and do not necessarily reflect real market conditions. Several of the pricier rifle scopes, for example, were already available “on the street” for hundreds of dollars less that MSRPs, even before the SHOT Show had ended! Here are the best binos we found.

Burris Droptine Binoculars

Burris Optics offers the Droptine binoculars in 8x42mm and 10x42mm, featuring multi-coated lenses for maximum light transmission and reduced glare, and at very affordable price points. Internally, both models are nitrogen-filled for waterproof and fogproof performance. Outer surfaces are rubber armored for protection and to provide a sure grip. Twist-up eyecups for eyeglass wearers. A dielectric mirror — a multilayered coating that provides superior reflexivity — ensures color fidelity and reduces glare. The diopter adjustment on right eyepiece allows for precise focusing. MSRP: 8x42 mm, $164.85; 10x42mm, $185.26. www.burrisoptics.com

Signature HD Line by Burris

For 2017, Burris Optics introduces the new Signature HD line of binoculars in three models: 8x42mm, 10x42mm and 12x50mm. All models in this line offer high-performance HD lenses and BaK prisms that produce sharp images and edge-to-edge clarity. The multi-coated lenses create maximum light transmission and reduce any glare when viewing in harsh conditions. Nitrogen-filled for waterproof and fogproof performance, Signature series binoculars are rubber armored for protection and a stable grip, while the open bridge design reduces weight. There are twist-up eyecups for those who wear eyeglasses. All binoculars include durable carrying case, neoprene neckstrap, lens covers and cleaning cloth. They are covered by the Burris Forever Warranty. MSRP: 8x42mm, $251.20; 10x42mm, $264.55; 12x50mm, $283.59. www.burrisoptics.com
