I don't have a ton of experience with good glassed optics or binos. However I know poor ones. I have had mediocre to poor binos and optics my entire hunting career and until recently I just thought it was a bunch of hype. I mean how good can the expensive ones be? I made the decision to invest in decent equipment and gear piece by piece. Well I completely understand. Vortex has been my go to between the quality, the price and service. They are unbeatable in my humble opinion which may not mean much. Clear glass, great field of view and low light application make them great. I will continue to choose Vortex over some of the other brands.
