What Binos are you carrying?

Burris Signatures go on sale on Amazon for stupid cheap a few times a year

I’ll be carrying my 12x NL Pures next August. Although, I’ve been giving some thought to a new pair of Revic LRF binos to consolidate gear.

8x32 El TA Range, light and less shit to worry about with a range finder/bino combo. I also carry them in on a Rick Youngs harness, which keeps the weight down.

Get the best you can afford. Don’t get Vortex.

Any specific gripes with vortex? Seem cheap and marked up to me but some friends are big fans

For sheep hunting? 10 x 25 Zeiss. About due for some new one's though, might look into the Swaro pocket bino's next.

Every truly independent review of a Vortex product I have seen since the company’s inception has ranged from “not satisfactory” to “absolute garbage”.

Admittedly, objective reviews get drowned out by all the hype flowing from their gigantic marketing budget. Just about anyone who’s anyone in the hunting space is on their payroll. Plus, they were one of the earliest “stealth marketers” via social media in the business and pioneered the “no questions asked” gear warranty (which you will definitely need). A huge part of their budget is for marketing and warranty work.

No doubt their innovative marketing strategies would make a great case study for college business classes, but their optics suck.
