I'll second Howlers recommendation. Great folks to deal with.

I got mine at Sportsmens Warehouse. Good price too. I chose them out of 12 binoculars including Nikon, Pentax, Swaros,. Leica. Minox and a bunch of others. I just kept eliminating until the last three. I honestly could not tell the difference in the Vortex, Swaros and One other which I think may have been Leica. At that point the warranty and the thousand dollar price difference bought the Vortex./
God bless you. Steve

I bought mine used...since the warranty is the best in the business and fully transferrable.....I was not worried. I love mine...Fury 8x42!

No offense to anyone, or to Vortex binos... I've heard they are fine.  But, I'd put the Swift Audubon 8.5 x 44 roof prisms up against anything on the planet!(as posted on product reviews last month.)  I've owned some of the best names in optics, and can now put aside the snob appeal.  Compared these to binos I used on sheep and goat hunts in the Rockies, and have made my decision: the Swift Audubon is equivalent to the best there is, and it has a major advantage.  It's only about $350, but you've gotta go to way over a thousand $ to match it.  It has a warranty- maybe not as great as some.....but, I'm gonna have a couple of pair of them, for a fraction.....   Give it a thought, at least.
