binocular HELP

Post by zach93 » Thu Jul 12, 2007 3:51 pm

Hi,
I am going to buy a pair of binoculars and are having a hard time.

I am looking at the ziess diafun 10X30 $400.00, minox 10X42 $400.00, Ziess BT conquest 10X42 $520.00, and the vortex viper 10X42 $490.00,

I am lookin around spending $500.00

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Zach

I love my Vortex Binos, don't know much about the rest.

Zach,
I actually use the Vortex Viper 10x42. They tend to fit my hand pretty well, are a bit lighter than the Razors, and are about 3/4 of an inch shorter.

I do have those in stock, and can deliver them to your door for $490. This price includes free shipping and a free harness.

In addition to the transferable lifetime warranty that Vortex has, I also offer a 30 day money back guarantee.

Please send me a PM if you would like more information.

Zach,

I'd have to recommend the Zeiss Conquests. Anytime you can get your hands on German optics at that price, don't hesitate, it's worth the investment.

All of the glasses you listed are good glasses, but I would go with a bigger objective lens if it was me.(10x42) I would also try to look through all of them first if you haven't already. I cannot imagine buying any optics without looking through them first. Good luck and let us know how you like the pair you decide to buy.
