I'm on a limited budget, but would like to get a set of Binoculars. I like the warranty on Vortex and they are within 15 minutes from where I live. The Diamondback 10x42 bino's are in my price range. Anyone here have experience with these, and would you recommend them? Thanks,

Mike
 
I bought a pair for my dad last year. We took them hunting with us this year I would recommend them. We were able to spot many deer with them decent glass, no problems with them what so ever.
 
My brother in law and I were at cabelas lookin for new binos for him. We looked at the leupold bx3. My thoughts were disappointing glass and a very gritty focus knob.

We were gonna step up to the next price point when the glass guy pointed us to the diamondbacks, they were almost half the price so I thought they would be a joke. Wow was I surprised, they were clear and he focus wheel was smooth as hell. Also the vortex warranty u can't beat.

I would recommend the 10x50s as they are only $20 more. But I'm sure the 10x42s are damn nice too.

I say get em!
 
I picked up a pair. Looked at the Talon HD and Viper HD binos, and they are nicer than the diamondbacks but I just couldn't justify paying double the price of the diamondbacks for my uses
 
Look at Alpen Shasta Ridge; less money, equal or better glass, same warranty.
