Class of Glass

[grfox92]

I think it would be helpful to compile a list of Binoculars and Spotters by class.

I think for usable optics for hunting we would need 4 classes. A, B, C, D. Ill need help from the forum to compile an appropriate list because I haven't spent enough time behind enough different brands to do it on my own, and I will update this original post as we go. If anyone disagrees where a particular set of optics falls on the list, let's discuss it in the thread. If anyone thinks there are more classes, that can be addressed as well. My initial list will be short. Really will be relying on the glass snobs to contribute.

Leupold BX4 is every bit comparable to vortex vipers. Just my 2 cents

And where does the vortex razor UHD stand if the Razor is in class B?
