In the last couple years I've picked up the same binoculars in 12x(already had a 10x in different brand)   

A strike eagle scope for an AR and a crossfire scope for a slug barrel. The glass in  them is awesome. 

I'm a Leupold fanboy but as they age and I replace them I'll be sticking with vortex. 

The 2 vortex scopes replaced Nikon scopes that are no longer made.

Good for the glove box in the truck. Would never trust Chyna made optics in a hunting situation.

I will tell you what, I have $800 Meoptas and I like the Vortex better. I know several people that have them and they are all happy with them and a lifetime warranty

Hunted with too many guys in Canada with fogged optics. Meopta included. Not for me

Just an FYI 

‘they are gen 1 diamondbacks , not the newer HD.

I have both , HD give you a few more minutes of usable light

IMO my vortex are better than my Swarovski SLC.

if someone wanted to buy them for a fair price I would let them go

What optics do you use?

I have Leupolds that fog too. 

I usually use a product that is supposed to stop the fogging. 

Cat crap it's called. 

No it's not crap from a cat lol

For the money they are pretty crisp.

For 80 bucks you can't go wrong. I'm just not going to risk an out of state hunt on them.

I have way more binoculars than I will admit to lol

i liked my canons better than both Zeiss and Swaro. 
I like the vortex a little better than all of them . 
been using Diamond backs in 8x42 the most 

and vipers in 10x42. 
 

May sell my swaro and a pair of canon and buy a 8x42 viper 

 

old eyes like the extra light

Good binoculars let you pick out all the odd stuff in the woods 

[Bigmac]

I have the same binos and they are excellent glass for $150. They will fog a bit though.
