These were purchased for a South Texas Game Hunt. To spot wild boar and Aoudad's, we needed clear optics that provided great visibility.
We got just that! Compared to my buddies 10x more expensive glass they weren't as great, but they weren't that much worse.
Knowing that if one of my boys dropped or broken them, that I was covered by the Vortex VIP Warranty was nothing more than satisfying.
These binos were tossed around in a side by side all week, exposed to the heat and dust of South Texas, and still came out "Good as New".
My only regret is not spending just the little bit more to get the Diamondback. Nothing wrong with the Crossfire, but just wish I would've bought one up in the Vortex line. I was just worried about them getting to me in time for our trip.
Great product! Vortex is definitely a first class product!
