Excellent value

Excellent quality, very reasonably priced. But more than that, Amazon's follow up and customer service, from the initial order through delivery, continues to be exceptional.

great product for money

This is a great binoculars for the money. I use it to hunt and it is great for veiwing through for hours. only thing is that it is a little bulky to have in the pack.

I agree with everyone else who gave this a 5-star review

And I don't think I can add anything that hasn't already been said, other than it could be operator fault (or my eyes), but some things tend to look more 2-D than 3-D to these 60-year-old eyes. However... I don't mind - at least they're exceptionally clear! I use them for back yard bird-watching, and it's been great to be able to identify some birds I'd never seen before (Spice Finches - which aren't supposed to be wild birds and aren't even listed on whatbird.com). It wasn't until I could see a close-up of their markings that I was able to finally ID them. (I call them the Spice Girls even though only four of them show up - and they're probably males. LOL) Definitely worth the money spent!

Excellent binocs!

My wife wanted binoculars for when we go camping in Yellowstone. There's a milion things to see there, particularly in the distance, and my old ones were pretty beat-up. So, after a couple hours of research, I went with these. Now maybe my view of a good set of binoculars is skewed by my old ones, but these seem outstanding, particularly for the price. Optics are excellent and eyeglass relief performs as advertised. You will not be disappointed with this purchase. Highly recommended.

Friends fight over them

For the money hard to beat. You can spend a lot more and buy better, but these are all I need. They are fairly good size, not your little pocket lookers.You will look very strange if you bust these our at the opera.
First time I use them was in a VIP Suite at at a football game and everyone ended up fighting over who got to use the binoculars next...Even those poeple who brought their own binoculars. They were a hit.

Spectacular deal for the optics

Very impressed with the quality of this product. Easy to use, a pleasure to view the surrounding environment. Recommend for day hikes, hunting, sports events, birdwatching, or whatever you fancy viewing. Not too cumbersome, portability is not hard labor, compared to heavier models out there. Optics are fantastic- (what else do you expect from Nikon) Thank you for a good product.

This is 1 sweet item.

After a little searching i found these at a sporting goods chain and instantly knew this is what i wanted. They are a perfect size and i was shocked when i looked through them at how clear everything was. I wanted something to fit in my briefcase or laptop bag for easy transport and powerful enough for work. Working on the water i also wanted them to be waterproof and for the price i think that these are perfect. They look and feel great and so far i love them. I also love the warranty of 25 yrs. Working on boats i have used many different types of binoculars and i find these to be much better quality than some of the much higher priced models i have used. Amazon easily beat the chain store price. If you are looking for a good quality pair of binoculars for a great price this is it.

GREAT Binoculars!

These are AWESOME. The feel really solid. The rubberized grip feels good in your hands. The glass is great. It is very clear and crisp. They have great eye relief - several different levels. The case, strap and eye-cup cover are very nice. This is the 2nd pair of Nikon Binoculars that I have bought and I am as happy with these as I am my 1st pair. For the price I don't think you can find a better pair.

Nikon 8 x 40 Extreme ATB Binocular

I got these for Christmas and used them for deer hunting. I am an eyeglass wearer and am very pleased that I can get a full field of view without removing my glasses. The clarity is very nice. I do not know much about binoculars, but I believe these are a great value, and the warranty is outstanding.Nikon Action 8x40 Binocular

nikon action ex binocular

Excellent binocular for hunting etc. Bought these for my wife and they are perfect. Weight is fine for still hunting etc. Clarity is great. A very good bargain at this store.

Finally a good pair of binocs

I found the product to be excellant in every respect. It does everything I want it to (mostly bird watching). Its easy to adjust, and the price is right. The covers over the objective lens are hard to put on is the only negetive feature. I waited a few years for a good pair of binocs and now I have them.

Great for birding

I am a long-time birder and have used several different low- to mid-priced binoculars over the past 15 years. I bought these binoculars a month ago, have taken them out on 8-9 birding trips and and have found them to be excellent in all respects.

The binoculars are sturdy and well-balanced without being unduly heavy. The optics make for a very clear, bright image in all conditions. I particularly like that they have three click-stop adjustments for the length of viewing, making it easy for people wearing glasses to get the right length. I also very much appreciate the close-focus capability: about 9 feet, which is much closer than other pairs I have used and which makes them reasonably good for watching butterflies.

I would recommend these to any birder.

Super Sharp, Great Priced Binoculars!

I am SO pleased with these binoculars. Great eye-relief for eye-glass wearers. Wide angle is as advertised, no tunnel-vision viewing! Thinking of buying a pair for my father for his cruise. Front lens caps are a problem, but just replace with hinged flip-top protectors like on sniper scopes and you're ready to go! Excellent product!

Crazy good for the money

These are for anyone on a budget that wants to upgrade from that old pair of travel binoculars or from Uncle Fred's 1954 hand-me-downs. They are *Waterproof* (very important, it's easy to confuse these with the lower-quality Nikon Action range) and fogproof, with clear and bright images. Very solid feel and compact for a full-size Porro-prism design. The 7x35 version of the Action Extreme won the highest position in the Cornell Ornithology Lab 2005 binocular shootout out of 15 budget entries - probably because the 8x40 was not tested.

Yes, they aren't perfect - higher price will get you sharper optics, lighter weights, and slightly better handling - but at this price the only alternative I could find is the Leupold 6x30 Yosemite for around 25% less - and that model is a 6x magnification.

I'm not sure why, but many sites don't cover the warranty on these. You get excellent support from Nikon USA - a 25-year no-fault warranty with a $10 fix or replace fee for the original owner. Combined  more
