I have a friend who needs to buy some binos. He said he wants to spend 500 or so. What would be the best bet ? I offered to let him use my Nikons but he declined.
Vortex and the best warranty in the business!I have a friend who needs to buy some binos. He said he wants to spend 500 or so. What would be the best bet ? I offered to let him use my Nikons but he declined.
I would say this too since I love mine but I have Japanese glass. They make them in fn china now so I don't know if they're still as good.Vortex and the best warranty in the business!
Lol, I have good ones Elk.Come On DM!
Ms DM Ain't Gonna See This Or Know What You're Up-Grading To!
I’ve been using vortex bios, rifle scopes, and my range finder and spotting scope.Votex best warranty that you will need probably several times over if you use them at all. I would go with whatever Nikon has in your friends price range.
He said he is getting Diamondbacks. I thought Nikon Monarch 3 is a 12 power if they have them. Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. They have seen some really nice bulls. I hope his son gets a good one. He is about 24 and is in top shape. Gets a decent deer every year.
Ya my nikons are 12x42 I guess they don’t make them anymore just monarch 5.He said he is getting Diamondbacks. I thought Nikon Monarch 3 is a 12 power if they have them.

buy a lottery ticket...NOW!I’ve been using vortex bios, rifle scopes, and my range finder and spotting scope.
None of these have ever needed repairs!
There are lots of optics companies with a warranty that is as good as Vortex has. The difference is you will be using the Vortex warranty. When a warranty is your claim to fame it should make you think twice.
You don’t have a. Lie with your made of story!There are lots of optics companies with a warranty that is as good as Vortex has. The difference is you will be using the Vortex warranty. When a warranty is your claim to fame it should make you think twice.
Burris has as good a warranty as Vortex. I know this thread is about binoculars and granted they don't have as many options in binoculars but they build some of the toughest scopes in the market. I've used them on T/C encore handguns chambered in .338 Win mag and .470 nitro express (yes handguns in those chamberings) there just isn't another brand of handgun scopes that can handle the beating as Burris does. I've used them on many big-bore rifles including .50 bmg which are notorious scope eaters and never once had an issue.Only Vortex offers VIP no fault, lifetime warranty.
I do not like the fact they are built in China but very few of us go through the day without using somthing that was made in China.
I have owned two pairs of binoculars, one Spotting scope and multiple rifle scopes for around 10 years.
I owned a pair of Nikon Monarch binoculars worked great for 5 years but when I really noticed the lack of focusing it was after 7 years and the warranty would not cover them. Instead of paying to fix the Nikons I bought a pair of Vortex Diamondbacks they got stolen after owning them for 4 years, now I own a pair of Razors UHD and they work great going on three years. The only issue with the Vortex products is the Razors rubber eye cup has a small rip.
Not with you driving.Would Throwing a SWARO Spotter in the Back of Your Pick-Up without a Case Be Covered Under Their Warranty?
Maven is Japanese glass and manufactured in San Diego and headquarters in Lander Wyoming.
They might become the optics of my future.
Yes it would!Would Throwing a SWARO Spotter in the Back of Your Pick-Up without a Case Be Covered Under Their Warranty?
I ran over mine with a jeep and they fixed it....and sent a loaner.Yes it would!
I damaged the eyepiece on my sworo spotter using a phonescope adapter. Sent it in and they fixed it for no cost even though it was my fault.
AustriaWhere does swaro glass come from?
Have any documentation? They actually produce and grind/polish their own glass?Austria
Ok boomerHave any documentation? They actually produce and grind/polish their own glass?
Hope everyone realizes that most of the quality in a lens is the grinding and polishing process...
Keep in mind the warranty is only as good as the company. Maven used to be Brunton. Brunton had okay binocs with an amazing “lifetime no fault warranty”. So I now have a couple pairs of Brunton binoculars that are broken with a warranty that’s as good as the company. Nonexistent.Maven is Japanese glass and manufactured in San Diego and headquarters in Lander Wyoming.

Those would be MeoptasGet a pair of Cabelas Euros HD. Best I've found outside of the big dogs.
Fencer, I was a Vortex dealer. The reason most salesman say vortex is so good, is because they earn points for free vortex optics when they sell them. Lots of brands do it. The program vortex offers is hard to beat for a salesman. I earned all kinds of high end vortex optics that I would turn around and sell to pay for other things. If any salesman at sportsman's is being honest with you they will tell you all about it.After reading the thread I went to Vernal Sportsman Warehouse later in the day. Checked their online profile and Monarch 7 was in stock. A sales fella came to the counter and asked how can he help. I said I shed hunt a lot and would like to upgrade to a Nikon.
Gent behind the counter looked at me and said he doesn't know much about those but Vortexes are the best. Plus incredible warranty vs limited for others.
I insisted and he started pulling the empty boxes from under the counter. These?... No those are 5s... these?... these are pro-something... those I want are listed 499... he got a bit unhappy.
So he pulled the last box marked 7, checks with inventory list and sez we only have this one on display. The demo was pretty beat up I asked him when they restock...
The rest is history,

Yep, Vortex bucks. Never trust the sales guy because they are usually thinking of themselves. Vortex does have a good program for getting free product.Fencer, I was a Vortex dealer.
