Last pair of bino's I'll ever buy, under $2k?

Eyes aren't what they used to be, $500 binos just not cutting it any longer. I see the Vortex Razor HD 10x42 is in the $1500 range, are they a contender with the Leica/swaro/zeiss or should I just accept the <$2k price tag of the big 3.

If you are gonna go to $1500 Id go the extra bit for the big 3...JMO

I couldn't imagine not having my Swarovski ELs

Sorry I meant the razor not the viper.
That's what my gut is telling me, I'll have to go look through a few but I've always had a crush on the Leica's
As hard on riggin as I am figured I'd consider the Vortex for their warranty and all the hype around em lately.

They all have that warranty, vortex is just better at marketing it. I would go with the swaro's personally. they just seem not as clunky as the leica's. but you really cant go wrong

Leica has good warranty for the original purchaser, none thereafter. That adversely effects resale value IMHO, as I wouldn't consider buying them used and having no warranty. Of course, resale value might not be a factor, if you're never going to sell them. I believe Ziess and Swaro are transferrable.

Swaro SLC 10x42 any good?

Swaro SLC 10x42 any good?

This is an old thread, but if you follow any of John Barsness’ work, he has stated that he thinks the SLC is the best bang for the buck of any bino available. Any optical advantage over it, is way out of proportion to price increase. That’s a solid endorsement from someone that uses and tests it all.
