So last November all 3 of my brothers joined me hunting. The youngest has a set of Swarovski bino's that I thought were simply amazing (they are).....but expensive (they are). Our oldest brother showed up wtih these :
Vortex Diamondback HD 10x42 Binoculars
When younger brother compared side-by-side, he said the Vortex were easily comparable to the Swaro's and said he couldn't see any difference. In fact, younger brother said he was going to buy a pair of the Vortex (he doesn't actually own the Swarovski's, get borrowed them from work). Oldest brother said he got his on sale for under $300 (I don't remember how much he said but I'm pretty sure it was close to $200)
I compared both and couldn't see a difference so I'm now keeping my eyes open for a pair of the Vortex on sale.
