Walmart + Week (no membership required) deal. Looks like they're $270 everywhere else

NYTimes #1 recommended binocular:

I got these for my grandparents a few months ago to look at birds, they're pretty legit

Seems like a solid deal. It's been a long time since I looked for binoculars, but Athlon makes great lenses, and provides solid bang for your buck.

These should be comparable to Vortex's Viper range (of the same model year). I think Athalon is better than Vortex when compared category to category, and these are $100 cheaper than they were just a year or two ago.

These are great truck binos and awesome in the deer stand. Glass is unreal for the price point, nothing else comes close

I ordered these Pentax 8-16x21mm which should arrive today for an upcoming hiking trip based on other people's recommendations.

Previously owned a 10-20x50mm and a 10-30x40mm monocular but I returned both due to how bulk they were and I generally could use a drone in those situations but my optical itch got me back looking for binoculars.

Couldn't agree more on the comparison!

Great price on a very nice pair of binoculars. You'd be hard pressed to find anything better in this price range. Lifetime warranty too.
I have the 10x42s

Great pair of 8x42's at a really good price. I read quite a few reviews when buying a set and came down to deciding between these and the Oregon Optricon. I ultimately settled on the latter at the time due to pricing (found an Optricon for similar price here when all the Athlon's were $80-100 more at the time). I don't NEED another pair of 8x42's but am tempted anyway.

Thank you so much for posting this! So glad that I saw it! I was able to get the price adjusted from my recent purchase and am getting back $32! They tried to tell me I paid less 2 different times in the chat but finally agreed with what my receipt said.

Seems these might be on sale as they are a previous version. Current "G2" version look to be roughly the same as far as I can tell.
