What are some good optics brands besides Zalex B-20 binoculars and where can I get them online?
I want to get someone a set of binoculars for birthday, he uses them for hunting. I only want to spend about 100 dollars on them, anyone have any advice about brand or type or something? I'm thinking either Gander Mountain or Fleet Farm?

Read this and then read the info on that website..
Lots of choices out there. But first, a little nomenclature. Binoculars all come with a set of numbers: 7×30, 8×40, 10×60, that sort of thing. So, what do they mean? Think of the second number as the diameter of the lens—how wide it is. This affects how much light can go through the lens and hit your eye.
B-20 optical glass : this performs much better than BK-7 glass used in some models. However, going up market (in the hundreds of dollars territory) they may not say again as they begin to adopt proprietary glasses.
I just saw a pair of Zalex B-20 binoc’s for $132.
