new glass

[Sdhunt17]

So ive got most of what i need to hunt but quality binos. i currently use some cheap 8x22 i found in my house. looking at the Vortex Diamondbacks. it fits my budget at the time and later i will invest in somethign for long rang glassing. my question is if theirs a noticeable difference between objective lens size (ex. 42 to 50)

Go down to Fine Firearms and try some out, glass a little.

I've had the vortex Diamondback 10x50 for 3 years, not even the HD version and it was a game changer for me. I am on a big time budget so this was all I could afford and still very happy with them. Before that I used some Nikons and they suck big time now that I go back and look through them.

Good idea on going to shop and looking through some as mentioned above.

I am now looking for some 15's

Good luck!!

The larger objective lense will do the following.
Let's more light in at lower visibility.
Clearer view.
Larger field view.

Cons
It Is heavier
Cost more

Personal choice

What is your price range?

300 max. leaning toward the 10x50. im going to go check them out

Don’t buy 50s buy a pair of 10x42s. I would recommend spending a little more and getting vipers for around $500. If you can’t swimg vipers get a pair of vortex diamond backs. I bought some for my kid and they are very serviceable.

what are your thoughts on why not to get the 50s

Lighter, less bulky. You probably won't tell the difference other than the first or last 2 minutes of the day. I wouldn't get 10x50's even at the same cost unless they were going to stay in the truck.

Forgot to mention much larger field of view.

I also have 10x42 vortex.
I like them because they are light and clear.
Also for got to add
The size of the object of 10x50
Will be larger.
That is why a 10 inch telescope
Will see an object in the sky larger and clearer than a 3 inch telescope
With the same magnification.

I had 10x50 before by the end of the
Day it felt heavy.
Best

It's worth noting that the x50's won't fit in good number of bino harnesses. I have the 10x42. They're so much lighter than my old binos that I can't imagine trying to get something heavier ever again.

Why are you selling them?

 

[stikbrandon]

Why are you selling them?

Because I don’t need them anymore

I would strongly encourage you to look at the Maven C1’s.

This fairly new company blows Vortex out of the water in my opinion.

If you choose the “demo” 10x42’s they cost $315 and you can test them out for a few weeks and return them if you don’t like them.

My dad was going to get a pair of Viper HD’s and I convinced him to order a demo of th C1’s. We both believe the C1’s were just as good if not better for much better price. American made and same warrenty, they just sell direct to consumer.
