vortex optics?
just got some vortex razor 10x42 binos. Love them! Just wondering if anyone else has used vortex? Pros/cons? Was considering Swarovski and Leica, but they were higher in price and after a side-by-side test outside at cabelas, didn't prove to warrant the higher price. Also, Vortex has a much better warranty!!

I've never owned any vortex optics, personally. I've borrowed a friend's binoculars, and I was pretty impressed. Next time I'm in the market, I will definitely put them at the top of my list of options. Heck, their warranty alone makes them well worth considering.

"No questions asked" warranties are great; if the company has been around for 50 years or so !!!
However, high quality optics really shine in low light conditions and extreme contrasting light conditions.
Are they worth $2,000.................. I leave that decision to you and your family !?!?
BTW - I do hear very good things about Vortex.

i've got a pair of 10/42 viper binoculars and the scope on my muzzleloader is also vortex. i will never replace those binoculars if i can avoid it as they've been awesome. the next scope i buy will likely be another vortex as well.

Vortex Optics began in 2004
Leupold started in 1907
I will repeat - "I have heard very good things about Vortex."
Just Food for thought.................................

I have a friend that has the 10x Razor binoculars. I have used them and was able to compare them to some others.
They are good quality binoculars that are imported from Japan and rebranded with the importer's name (Vortex). I think you will be happy with them and the warranty should be good for as long as the importer stays in business.
The pair that I used compared fairly well with other models in their price range.

I have a set of Vortex binos and love them however, Swarovski binos are hard to beat. As mentioned earlier, you may not see a huge difference in the middle of the day but you will see a huge difference in low light conditions with the Swarovskis being the better set of optics. If you don't have the money for Swarovski's though, Vortex is pretty hard to beat. I love my Vortex optics and I'm sure you will love yours as well.

I have a pair of the Razor 8 x 42 that I used all last year in W. Texas. They are well made and tough and are at least equal to if not better than some higher priced optics. Very clear and low light performance is very good. Warranty is the best in the business. My next scope purchase will be a Vortex. If your budget is tight, the new Nikon Monarch 7 line is an excellent option.
