Awesome Binos at the price point
These are fantastic binos with super clear glass. There is no edge distortion and the colors really pop. I just go back from a military expedition to a desert and had brought these along. Far superior to anything other glass on that particular battlefield!
Used to bracket in artillery and survived in one of the harshest environments on the planet!
I am an avid PRS shooter and also use them to spot impacts. Eye relief is good, but I would strongly advise that you pair these with a good tripod to effectively spot impacts.

Perfect size, Awesome Product
I bought these binoculars around August of last year, so about 8 months ago and i do not regret it one bit. These were supposed to be just complimentary binoculars to my higher end binoculars, and they were to be used or shared with others but have quickly become my primary optic. These have made my hunts and scouting events highly successful.

Best Bang-for-your-Buck
If you are trying to decide between some Swaro's or Vortex.. go with Vortex. Unless you are literally swimming in cash, just buy the viper HDs. The extra 1500 bucks for Swarovski gets you about a .0001% increase in quality. Swaro fans will brag about field flattening lenses, wide FOV, no pincushion effect, color rendition etc. Vortex does all of these things incredible well. I guarantee you take the average hunter, put him behind vortex HDs and then behind a pair of swaro SLCs and they will have a very hard time seeing the difference. As far as the brightness, I would argue that vortex does a slightly better job (although very minimal). Moral of the story, don't waste your time on swaros unless you have an extra 1500 burning a hole in your pocket and you've bought everything else you've ever wanted in life.
