Best binoculars in this price range - Vortex Razor HD 8x42mm Roof Prism Binoculars

These are very close to Swarovski quality, and I would rate above Ziess or Leupold. Very bright and have tested at Dawn or Dusk. Am able to pick up fine details of grassy meadows or dark timber in the mountains in the middle of the day or at last shooting light. I was able to see almost 30 minutes later through these than my Leupold VX3 6.5-20x50 with 30mm tube riflescope...even with it set at 6.5x.

Very impressive pair of binoculars at a great price point. And Vortex has a no questions asked warranty so you can feel confident taking them into the field. mud, rocks, rain, shine if anything happens they will repair or replace them for you
