    need recommendation on Bino

    Very "CLEAR" Choices! Agreed! The BX-2 Cascades were my 1st quality binos...helped me take my first deer at twilight this past season. However, the Leupold 10X42 Mojave BX-3 binos are the best for the $$$ I've ever looked through (including some very nice European-German-Asian glass). They...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper 10x42 HD's - Are they Really That Good?

    Well, I have to report a disappointment in the Viper HD's. Long story short, I could not get past My perceived "fish eye" or "tunnel vision" effect I'd experienced in their FOV. Overall 2-week observation and use was Sharpness, check...Clarity, check...Color, check...Ergonomics, check...Build...

    Got me some new binos!

    BX-2 and BX-3's are Great Glass! My BX-2's came in a soft foam case...okay for scratches, but nothing substantial like the ones in your pic. The Cascade 10x42's sure are sharp and clear, with very natural color and solid build quality. They helped illuminate and take my 1st deer this past...

    Is a $600 pair of binos worth it?

    Jason, Trinovids or Ultravids?

    Is a $600 pair of binos worth it?

    FT, Any $$$ investment in Any top tier product can be the "best there is", period. However, that does not make anything of lesser value, "Cheap". Certainly it is cheaper, meaning a lesser $$$ investment. If a cheaper product provides performance that say runs 90 to 99% of the -Top Tier-...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper 10x42 HD's - Are they Really That Good?

    Is a $600 pair of binos worth it?

    Good suggestion, Bubb...That is what I did also! To the original OP, store viewing\comparisons are tough due to so much light. However, distant (in store) dark shaded spots will be brighter with higher quality optical binos, rendering sharper details and clearer resolution\colors. If you have...

    vortex viper hd vs vulture hd?

    As yourself, I'm new to Vortex optics. If all the glass, prisms and coatings are identical between the Viper HD and Vulture HD (looks very similar on their features listings), then You might expect the larger objectives on the Vulture to bring in more low light capability. As you said, they are...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper 10x42 HD's - Are they Really That Good?

    Bloodsport06, I'm an "average joe" and Yes, the 10x24 HD Vipers I looked through made me give back the Diamonbacks immediately to the sales rep...didn't even consider them in the running for my next pair! The Viper HD's were clearly brighter, sharper, had a greater DOF with superior resolution...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper 10x42 HD's - Are they Really That Good?

    Thanks everyone for your comments. All suggestions were considered. however I finally chose the Viper HD 10x42's and will have them in hand next week for review. In my shopping experience, I found their ergonomics excellent (size-feel-weight), they fit my face very well, were comfortable to hold...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper 10x42 HD's - Are they Really That Good?

    DRV & SC, Thanks for the comments. My goal is get the best-I-can around my $400-$600 budget. I've glassed with the Swaro El's at the range and did comparison shopping at the B&M. They are probably the best ever made...Period! However, I am a practical kind of guy and typically look for the...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper 10x42 HD's - Are they Really That Good?

    My first hunting binos were the Leupold Cascades BX-2's...worked okay glassing at deep dusk and helped me take my 1st deer this past season. Alas, I wanted to get a wider FOV and the original McKinley BX-4's came in at Midway recently for a really sweet deal. Picked them up...however, they...

    Rifle Scopes Best low-light hunting scope for $1000

    +2 ! Jan 2nd...saw and took my 1st deer. It was 2 minutes before downtime, soft blue sky was turning black, could not see the food plot and background woods were totally black. When I brought the gun up, my Leupold VX-6 3-18 seemed to have illuminated her coat, as if she were glowing. I had...
