Bushnell Forge worth it for $250?

[Brehmer22]

Need to upgrade my glass. I noticed the 10x42 bushnell forge is on clearance for $250 from $500 originally. Would they be worth it for that price or should I look for/save up for Vipers ?

Never had Vipers but had a set of Forge 8x that were really good.

Probably should have kept them.

Only minor downside was that they seemed to be a larger form factor for 8x42 and were a little heavy. IMO.

I really like the Forge binos, but they are awfully heavy. I like them better than Vipers.
